it states that he captained India but I feel this is implying that his whole career, he was captaining India. This is not true as he only captained around 1996-97. Please remove this or state that he was a prolific Indian batter 2601:441:8480:4710:BD94:7FD1:E824:1294 (talk) 01:33, 31 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Description of the use of funds could be added, if you provide some text.

The attendance text should remain, since it is sourced and clearly described (it doesn't say he is the worst representative in general, just that he has the worst attendance). LizardJr8 (talk) 16:34, 8 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done: His attendance record and the existence of criticism resulting from that are statements of fact which are supported by reliable sources.
