Happy to step down if I am the reason for all wrongs: Dhoni

Under-fire India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni in a sarcastic tone said that if his removal from captaincy can help Indian cricket move in right direction then he is game for it.

"I am always the one who is responsible for anything bad that happens in Indian cricket. Everything that happens is because of me. Even the Bangladesh media is smiling," Dhoni gave a tongue-in-cheek reply to a question at the post-match press conference about how much responsibility for the loss of this series lies with him.

When the question was asked differently about how long he would continue as captain, he made it clear that he would continue but not before taking a dig at the scribe.



"I am really enjoying my cricket. But when the earlier question was asked, I knew this one was coming. These questions always keep popping up. The media loves me. If I am the reason for all the bad that's happening to Indian cricket, definitely I would love to step away and play as a player.

"It doesn't really matter who is the captain because I was never really in line to become the captain. It was a job or responsibility for me. They want to take it away from me, I am fine," he said.
