He is a very humble person who works hard, and Dhoni does not promote himself at all. Hayden further said- You will never hear Dhoni telling how great a captain he is and what he has achieved. It is just the factor of the name MS Dhoni. You look at Australia and think about 25 million people, how did they win the World Cup against us? Dhoni just tries to bring people together. He does his work in such a way that there is no ego in it. It is worth noting that the Indian team has won all three ICC titles (T20 World Cup 2007, World Cup 2011 and Champion Trophy 2013) under Dhoni’s captaincy. India last won an ICC event in 2013 under Dhoni’s captaincy. Since then, India has not won any ICC event.
