S. Sreesanth: “ICC should be apologizing not just to MS Dhoni but the entire country. This is not the way to dictate terms with the country that is literally ruling Indian cricket. In fact, he should be wearing the same gloves and winning the World Cup,” he said in a conversation with India Today.

Reportedly, BCCI is currently in conversation with ICC and is seeking permission to allow Dhoni to wear the gloves.

Meanwhile, here’s what the netizens have to say about the row:
