Dhoni scare for India

Final ODI against Pakistan today

PTI, New Delhi
India captain Mahendra Singh W Dhoni was on Saturday rendered a doubtful starter for Sunday's third and final one-day international against Pakistan due to a sore back, forcing the team management to call up Dinesh Karthik as the back up.
Dhoni said at the customary pre-match press conference that he developed soreness on his back during the morning practice session at the Feroze Shah Koda ground in New Delhi.
He was actually asked about the absence of middleorder batsman Yuvraj Singh at the training session and the skipper said, "If at all somebody is doubtful, it's me. I have a sore back and we have called Dinesh Karthik as backup.
"Since it was an optional pracdce session, Yuvraj did not come," he said.
Asked, who will lead the side if he does not recover in time, Dhoni said, "Let'shopethatlplay.We’Useetomorrow." The beleaguered Indian batting line-up could come under more pressure if Dhoni sits out on Saturday.
He has been India's top scorer in the series with a 113 not out in the first match in Chennai and an unbeaten 54 in the second in Kolkata.
Dhoni meanwhile refused to blame coach Duncan Fletcher, whose role may be the under the scanner
following prolonged poor run of form, saying the utmost responsibility for performance lies with the players.
Dhoni was asked about the role played by Fletcher as India have lost one series after another.
"It's time that players take the responsibility. Coaches tore there to guide us. If the player has problem in technique, coach can suggest. Coach cannot go to ground. It will be wrong to blame the coach. The utmost responsibility lies with the players at the end of the day," Dhoni said at the pre-match press conference ahead of Sunday's third and final one-dayer against Pakistan.
Asked if India needs a foreign coach, Dhoni jokingly said, "I don't know. Desi aur videshi. Desi aur videshi to bas murge hote hain [Indian or foreign is meant for chicken only]."
Dhoni evaded a direct answer when asked if some new players, such as Ajinya Rahane, will be given a chance to play tomorrow since India have already lost the three-match ODI series.
"We have given chance to Bhuvaneshwar Kumar. We all know he is a good swing bowler. But we have not decided on the playing XI. Jinks [Ajinkya] has been doing well. We will feature the best side," he said.
Dhoni not only backed the coach, he threw his weight behind his under-fire colleagues, saying that the team was notlacking in talent.
"When you lose, you feel bad. When we bat well, we don't bowl well, if we bowl well, we don't bat well. We have talent but we have to perform together," he said.
