Mirpur: Team India is firmly behind captain MS Dhoni and there is no change in the dressing room atmosphere despite the first-ever ODI series loss to Bangladesh, off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin said on Tuesday.
India lost the first two ODIs of the ongoing three-match series to allow Bangladesh take an unassailable 2-0 lead and captain Dhoni received a lot of flak.
"If you don't get behind your leader (now) then when will you? So, as far as I am concerned, it's like an army, if you don't get behind your leader then you are definitely going to get shot. If my captain asks me to die on the field, I'll do it," Ashwin said in a media conference a day ahead of the third ODI.
"It's not just now, any captain you have to get behind him. If he asks you to die on the field, then you have to be prepared to do it."
Calling Dhoni one of the legends of Indian cricket, Ashwin said, "He is one of our star cricketers. He has done so much for the nation. We can't really forget what he has done.
