Board of Control for Cricket in India president N Srinivasan on Friday took potshots at his detractors, saying they were "jealous" of Chennai Super Kings because the Indian Premier League giants have India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni in their side.

Srinivasan, who found his name dragged into the IPL fiasco after the alleged involvement of his son-in-law Gurunath Meiyappan in spot-fixing and betting scandal, was speaking at a function for the first time since stepping aside from his post in the wake of the scandal.

"Why do you think people are jealous of CSK (Chennai Super Kings)? It is because of Dhoni. There was a savage attack on me (recently) because I have Dhoni," Srinivasan said, referring to recent controversies related to IPL which saw him face scathing criticism on issues of propriety and probity after the arrest of his son-in-law Meiyappan.

Interacting with a group of students and academicians at Alagappa College of Technology, Srinivasan said his detractors would remain silent if he had released Dhoni.

Srinivasan showered accolades on the Indian captain terming him an "outstanding leader and innovative captain."

"On the field Dhoni never showed his emotions and was an intelligent cricketer and a simple man," Srinivasan said.

"Former Indian coach Gary Kirsten once said that on the field, no one can equal Dhoni as a captain," Srinivasan said, recollecting his conversation with the South African cricketer.

Srinivasan had recently stepped aside till a probe into his son-in-law Gurunath Meyyappan was completed, with former chief Jagmohan Dalmiya being named the interim head of the Indian Board.

Sri Lanka Under-19 pulled off a draw against India Under-19 at the Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium final day, after being asked to follow-on in the first of the two four-day matches of the series.
Sri Lanka were trailing by 268 runs with five wickets in hand in the first innings at the end of third day's play. They were then bowled out, after adding just 21 runs on the fourth morning. Ramesh Mendis and Kavindu Kulasekara returned without adding to their overnight total, dismissed by Atul Singh in the second over of the day.
Sniffing a victory, the Indian colts enforced follow-on. However, the hosts rallied on to finish the game on 264 for the loss of nine wickets in the second innings with a 17-run lead to deny the visitors a win.   (Also Read: Sri Lanka U19 vs India U19, Day 3 - Report | India U-19 Tour Sri Lanka)
