The BCCI top brass is fuming at Dhoni's comments at the pre-match press conference in Bristol, saying that the captain has "over-stepped his brief" and has no business to decide the tenure of coaches.
Dhoni's comments have also raised speculation on whether he was on the same page with the BCCI bigwigs who had appointed Ravi Shastri as the Director of cricket in the wake of the team's shambolic performance in the Test series against England.
"What happened is very disappointing and unbecoming of an Indian captain. The matter will come up for discussion at the next working committee meeting of the board. Let's get it straight. Dhoni is no one to comment as to who is the boss of the team. It's not his domain," the senior office-bearer told PTI today.
"Obviously, Dhoni has overstepped his brief as an Indian captain. The media can ask him any question but being a matured cricketer, he should know what his lines are. Just like BCCI officials are not going to decide who is in the playing XI, Dhoni does not decide who is going to stay till what time.
