The only captain to lead in 6 editions of World T-20

MS Dhoni has always been a fitness enthusiast and this is reflected from the fact that he has hardly missed out on any match due to injury or fitness issues. This allows him to focus properly on his captaincy which is of utmost importance in a short and quick T-20 format.

The right-handed batsman is an aggressive player and has always enjoyed playing the shortest format of the game. He has captained India in all 6 editions of the World T-20 championship which is a record in itself.

Starting from 2007, when the inaugural T-20 World cup was organized, he recently led the team in the 6th edition where India lost to the West Indies in the semi-finals. The team came very close to winning their second title in 2014 but disappointingly lost to Sri Lanka in the final.
