M.S.Dhoni banned for One Test for poor over rate; Sehwag to be the captain.
Perth: India skipper MS Dhoni's woes fail to cease in Australia as after a dismal run with the bat, he has been handed a one-Test ban for maintaining slow over-rate in the third Test here, which India lost on the third day by an innings and 37 runs.
The ban comes into immediate effect, which means India will not have the service of their regular skipper in the fourth and final Test of the series against Australia at Adelaide, starting January 24. In that event, vice-captain Virender Sehwag, who too has had a dismal run with the bat in Australia, will lead the team.
India, who have already lost the four-Test series 3-0, will try to save face in Adelaide by avoiding a second consecutive whitewash overseas after losing the Test series to England 4-0 earlier this year.
