Dhoni banned for two one day matches

Indian skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni has been suspended for two ODIs for slow over-rate in the second One-dayer against Sri Lanka, according to television reports.

Match referee Jeff Crowe awarded the ban to Dhoni after the match got delayed by about an hour due to recurrent deliberations among the Indian players in the field when Lankans were closing in to the target.

Owing to the ban, Dhoni might miss the next two One-dayers of the five-match series, to be played in Cuttack and Kolkata. The Indian skipper will hence return to play the final ODI in Delhi.

Though reports say that opening batsman Gautam Gambhir is likely to take over the leadership in Dhoni's absence, there has not been any confirmation from the BCCI in teh matter.
