Cricket Blind Item: Captain Uncool

 

This semi-retired cricketer has legions of fans across the globe. While he has retired from most international formats, he is still seen in the IPL. He gained a cult following for lifting the team to several triumphs & for his unconventional leadership style. He inherited a battered team, but led it to several World Cup victories across formats. There wasn't a single ICC trophy that India did not win under his leadership. Many cricketers, too, have been open in their admiration for him - arguably the best captain ever. But as per our source, he is a terrible person to work with. While at ad shoots, he makes life hell for the crew. Despite being paid for 8 hours, he leaves within 5 odd hours. Even a small distraction or any noise on set is enough for him to walk off the set & sit in his vanity van. His tantrums never seem to end. His entourage, too, is very demanding. This is unlike the perception the media has painted of him. He is definitely not a cool captain. He continues to remain one of the highest paid brand ambassadors.

As per the source, two other captains are much easier to deal with. While it is not uncommon to hear about movie stars throwing tantrums, sports stars are known to be rather well-behaved. The fact that the champion cricketer came from a humble background would make one think that he is grounded even after his several triumphs. But success seems to have gone to his head. This explains why he has several detractors as well. We were heartbroken to hear this piece of gossip as we too were his ardent fans.

Can you guess the celebs we are talking about?
