'MS Dhoni, Didn't Do One Press Conference': EX-AUS Captain Drops Bombshell Amid Ravindra Jadeja Controversy

Michael Clark took a dig at MS Dhoni in the aftermath of Ravindra Jadeja's press conference during the ongoing Border Gavaskar Trophy. The five match Test series has already been rocked by a number of on and off pitch incidents.

Jadeja irked the Australian media fraternity when he took questions only from the Indian journalists and addressed the entire presser in Hindi. Akash Deep followed suit, and it seemed to have triggered the Australian journalists.

Controversy erupted when a few Aussie reporters were involved in a verbal spat with Virat Kohli who was pretty much agitated to see journalists chasing his privacy at the Melbourne airport.

Clarke reminded that MS Dhoni also didn't address the media during an entire tour when he was leading the Indian team.

On ESPN's Around the Wicket show, he said, "I don't think much has changed, to be honest. I've experienced Indian teams coming here, and their captain, MS Dhoni, didn't do one press conference during the entire Test series. So, Sachin was very restrictive around when he chose to do media. I think it's been the same for a long time. So, I like the fact they're still putting someone up.

Clarke highlighted that Gautam Gambhir set the tone with his fiery press conference before leaving India for Australia. Gambhir even fired shots at Ricky Ponting for his comments on Virat Kohli's form.

"I think they made it pretty clear before they left India what they were going to be like when they arrived in Australia. They're going to stick to themselves, stick to their plan. Gambhir made that very clear in the first press conference. So, I don't know why anybody's surprised, and for them, it'd be about what's happening on the field, not off the field. So, I don't think even the chat around it would be bothering India too much," Clarke added.
