In the last few years, many great players have been appointed captains of the Indian team and they have performed their job very well. Be it Mansoor Pataudi or Kapil Dev and today, MS Dhoni or Rohit Sharma, all the players played the role of captain very well.

Under the captaincy of Mahendra Singh Dhoni, the Indian team won the trophies of three ICC events. 2007 T20 World Cup, 2011 ODI World Cup and 2013 ICC Champions Trophy. When Mahendra Singh Dhoni was the captain of the Indian team, veteran player Shikhar Dhawan was an important opening batsman of the national team. Not only this, Shikhar Dhawan was the highest run-scorer in the Champions Trophy.

Shikhar Dhawan has batted very well in all three formats. Be it Test, T20 or ODI, this player has left his mark in every format. Not only this, when Virat Kohli was given the captaincy, Shikhar Dhawan batted for the Indian team in ODI cricket for a long time. Recently Shikhar Dhawan revealed about the captaincy of Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Virat Kohli.

In an exclusive interview with The Times of India, Shikhar Dhawan said, ‘There is a lot of difference in the captaincy of Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Virat Kohli. I have played matches under the captaincy of both of them. Not only this, our relationship has also been very good. I think both are very good cricketers and many people want to be like them.

Shikhar Dhawan further said, ‘Mahendra Singh Dhoni bhai is of a very calm nature and he takes decisions after thinking very carefully and considering the situation of the match. His mind always remains cool and this has been the hallmark of his captaincy. Dhoni Bhai’s decision is always praised. They have confidence in themselves and always take the right decisions. Not only this, he also supports his players a lot and the atmosphere of the team is also very positive.

Virat Kohli is young and because of him the atmosphere of the team remains very energetic. He gives maximum opportunities to young talented players and has faith in them. He likes to stay fit and his goal is to ensure that his fitness does not deteriorate at all. He always keeps his team ahead with his performance and also sets the tone of the team by batting aggressively.
