Gavaskar said that the Indian cricket team has a system of rewarding its top-performing players by giving them the option to take up one of the limited business class seats in domestic flights. However, Dhoni, despite being captain, used to prefer sitting with the TV crew in economy class.
“As most Indian cricket followers know, during the Indian domestic, international season, both teams travel in a special chartered flight from one venue to the next. The flight also carries the technical TV crew who have to rig the cables for the next game,” added Gavaskar.
"There are limited seats in business class and the captains, coaches and managers of the teams get these. It is here that those Indian players, who have done well in their previous game, get to sit there as a reward rather than the economy class behind,” Gavaskar further added.
“Mahendra Singh Dhoni hardly ever sat in business class on these flights even when he was the skipper as he would prefer to sit with the real champs of the TV coverage, the cameramen and the sound engineers,” wrote the 70-year-old.
