భవిష్యత్తు గురించి ఆలోచించి ధోనీ రిటైర్మెంట్పై నిర్ణయం తీసుకోవాలని అన్నాడు టీమిండియా మాజీ ఆటగాడు గంభీర్. మహీ గొప్ప కెప్టెన్ అని.. కానీ మిగతా వారు తక్కువ కాదని తెలిపాడు.

ప్రపంచకప్ తర్వాత కోహ్లీ సారథ్య బాధ్యతలు, ధోనీ రిటైర్మెంట్ గురించి పెద్ద చర్చే నడుస్తోంది. ఈ వరల్డ్కప్ తర్వాత మహీ రిటైర్మెంట్ ప్రకటిస్తాడని అందరూ ఊహించారు. టీమిండియా ట్రోఫీ గెలిస్తే పరిస్థితి ఎలా ఉండేదో తెలియదు కానీ.. సెమీ ఫైనల్లో ఓడిన తర్వాత అంతా మారిపోయింది. ఇప్పుడు ధోనీతో పాటు కోహ్లీ సారథ్య బాధ్యతలపై భిన్న వార్తలు వినిపిస్తున్నాయి.

తాజాగా ధోనీ రిటైర్మెంట్పై భారత మాజీ ఆటగాడు గంభీర్ ఆసక్తికర వ్యాఖ్యలు చేశాడు. జట్టుకోసం ధోనీ ఎంతో చేసినప్పటికీ యువ క్రికెటర్లను దృష్టిలో ఉంచుకొని భవిష్యత్తుపై నిర్ణయం తీసుకోవాలని తెలిపాడు. ధోనీ కెప్టెన్గా ఉన్నప్పుడూ భవిష్యత్తు గురించే ఆలోచించేవాడని అన్నాడు.

"నాకు ఇప్పటికీ గుర్తు...ఆస్ట్రేలియాతో సీబీ సిరీస్లో సచిన్, సెహ్వాగ్లు ఆడలేరని.. అక్కడి గ్రౌండ్‌లు పెద్దగా ఉంటాయని ధోనీ అన్నాడు. వచ్చే ప్రపంచకప్‌లో యువ ఆటగాళ్లు కావాలని మహీ ఆలోచించే ఉంటాడు. రిషభ్ పంత్, సంజూ శాంసన్, ఇషాన్ కిషన్ ఇలా ఏ యువ వికెట్‌ కీపర్ అయినా ఎదగాల్సిన అవసరం ఉంది"
-గంభీర్, టీమిండియా మాజీ ఆటగాడు.

వికెట్ కీపర్‌గా గొప్ప పేరు తెచ్చుకోవాలని ఉన్న ఆటగాళ్లకు ఏడాది లేదా రెండేళ్ల పాటు అవకాశం ఇవ్వాలని గంభీర్ సూచించాడు. ఒకవేళ వారు సరిగా ఆడకపోతే అప్పుడు వారిని జట్టు నుంచి తప్పించాలని అన్నాడు. వచ్చే ప్రపంచకప్‌లో మన వికెట్ కీపర్ ఎవరనే విషయంలో ఓ స్పష్టత ఉండాలని తెలిపాడు.

ధోనీ

"గణాంకాలు చూస్తే ధోనీ విజయవంతమైన కెప్టెన్. అలా అని మిగతా సారథులు తక్కువ వారు కాదు. గంగూలీ, కోహ్లీ నేతృత్వంలో విదేశీ సిరీస్లూ గెలిచాం. ధోనీ సారథ్యంలో రెండు ప్రపంచకప్లు గెలిచాం. కానీ క్రెడిట్ అంతా కెప్టెన్కే ఇవ్వడం సరికాదు."

Takei: "There were a few tweaks. I remember the cooks, who weren't really professional cooks, they were just recruited. And they had the cooks in these sanitary white caps that restaurant workers wear. I didn't recognize that at all. They had what we called Hachimaki headbands that you tie to absorb the sweat, because the kitchens were very, very hot and sweaty. And they usually have the undershirts on and the Hachimaki."
Mio: "Wasn't there like inconsistency in the utensils or something that you pointed out – the dishware. And they made adjustments on set. So that was so precious and vital to have George be on set and be a consultant overall throughout the whole season for the whole series. I mean just, he's a treasure not just in Hollywood but to the Japanese community. And also telling this story it was so important to have him be a part of it, to add to the authenticity and make sure that we were telling the story accurately."

STORYLINE:
GEORGE TAKEI REVISITS CHILDHOOD IN INTERNMENT CAMPS IN 'LANDMARK' NEW SERIES 'THE TERROR: INFAMY'
George Takei revisited his childhood years in Japanese internment camps for the new series "The Terror: Infamy."
The former "Star Trek" star spoke Thursday (18 JULY19) alongside co-star Derek Mio at Comic-Con in San Diego.
The series mixes Japanese ghost folk tales with the real-life terror facing those imprisoned by the U.S. government after the 1941 Pearl Harbor attack. Takei was held with his parents in two of the camps as a child.
"They re-created a good quarter of an internment camp. And the research that was done on it was really impressive. The barracks reminded me again – mentally, I was able to go back to my childhood. That's exactly the way it was. And the little crawlspace beneath it was where when we adopted a stray dog – and that's where Blackie used to crawl under when he was reprimanded. And to tell the story on this scale – I mean, this is groundbreaking in the scope, the massive scope. Ten hours, 10 episodes spread over a 10 week-period to tell this story in great depth. So for me, it was both fulfilling to raise the awareness to this extent of the terror. But also to make the storytelling that much more compelling. This is episodic television, so we have to have a good cliffhanger. And by fusing the kaidan Japanese literary form of ghost tales with the real American - a chapter from American history, and telling that story made it really compelling," Takei said.
The 82-year-old actor said he sees the series as "a landmark" in Asian-American storytelling because it centers on a romance featuring the Asian-American actor Derek Mio.
"He is a romantic leading man. The central story is a love affair between a young Japanese American man and a beautiful Mexican American woman. And then Pearl Harbor happens, and what happened to their relationship is at the core of 10 episodes of storytelling," Takei said.
Takei says he wasn't aware of the true nature of the camps when he was young - only realizing when he was a teenager what had happened.
"My parents protected us from the real horror that they were going through, but you know sometimes I would wake up in the middle of the night and seeing my parents hovering over a kerosene lamp. And my mother would be crying. That, later on as a teenager I discovered was when they were discussing the loyalty questionnaire, which is very little dealt with in other tellings of the internment story. But it was the most critical, most divisive, most scabrous events that happened to the people that had been already imprisoned, for a year," he said.
Takei acted as a consultant on the fly during production - with his own memories guiding costumers and set designers.
Takei: "There were a few tweaks. I remember the cooks, who weren't really professional cooks, they were just recruited. And they had the cooks in these sanitary white caps that restaurant workers wear. I didn't recognize that at all. They had what we called Hachimaki headbands that you tie to absorb the sweat, because the kitchens were very, very hot and sweaty. And they usually have the undershirts on and the Hachimaki," he said.
Mio adds: "Wasn't there like inconsistency in the utensils or something that you pointed out – the dishware. And they made adjustments on set. So that was so precious and vital to have George be on set and be a consultant overall throughout the whole season for the whole series. I mean just, he's a treasure not just in Hollywood but to the Japanese community. And also telling this story it was so important to have him be a part of it, to add to the authenticity and make sure that we were telling the story accurately."
"The Terror: Infamy" is set to premiere on AMC in the U.S. on Aug. 12.
