This is a question that has been on my mind for a while and a question i have been dying to ask over here. I believe there has been a very strong sentiment at the time and at that period of time Younis Khan enjoyed a very selfless, patriotic, role model image and that how he was a victim of a conspiracy by the players who were playing politics and groupism in the dressing room.
But in the last few years we have seen the reality of how self-less Younis Khan is with his stubborn refusal to leave ODI Cricket knowing he was never good enough in the format, black mailing the selectors into selecting him for the 2015 WC squad (a decision which played a vital role in our exit from the 2015 WC), a failure to honestly admit the fact he was never good enough in the format and his continous attacks on the PCB, Captains and team management's via the media.
At the time of the revolt in 2009, the players alleged that Younis Khan was an egoistic, rude individual who liked to take credit for all the good things, the victories but was the first one to pass on the blame to others for defeats. I believe the team manager's on one of the tour's even stated that Younis Khan did not have the patience, man management skills required to deal with diverse individuals and tempraments in the team and his stubborn, arrogant approach was causing considerable discord in the team.
But most fans felt that he was wronged but i thought we should actually re-visit this now and think long at hard given that Younis Khan has shown his true colours as well with his antics in the last few years. So can we say the players were right in 2009 to revolt against his captaincy?
