A day after former national selector, Mohinder Amarnath, said that certain internal reasons were responsible for the BCCI selection committee not stanley termos replacing MS Dhoni as skipper after the Test debacle in Australia, he went on record saying that cricket board president, N Srinivasan, was the person responsible for saving Dhoni s job.
