"There is nothing whatsoever to suggest that Dhoni doesn’t give every drop of his blood, sweat, toil and tears every time he steps out on the playing green. Indeed, on countless occasions, he has played beyond himself and – except for a particularly bad patch last year – has proved a phenomenally successful captain. No fair-minded person will, therefore, grudge Dhoni his megabucks endorsement fees. He has thoroughly deserved them. But in allowing his business interests to interfere in his cricketing world, in a manner that opens him up to the charge that he put himself in a blatant conflict-of-interest situation, Dhoni has fallen from the stately pedestal on which his cricket fans have put him."
