Aamir Khan

The tacticians, the perfectionists and the master strategists.

MS Dhoni is arguably the greatest Indian cricket captain in history, with a trophy cabinet that boasts all available ICC trophies. Dhoni often stressed on the importance of 'process' over results, and often chose to put his personal gains on the backseat for the sake of the bigger picture. His position in the lower order was notable in the foresight it showed towards building a strong batting line-up.

Aamir Khan is probably Bollywood's most successful actor in modern times, with multiple internationally recognised blockbuster hits. Aamir too often preaches the importance of 'process', paying a lot of attention to the smallest details. While his star power is needed in several films, he only contributes in projects where he feels the bigger picture is worth the effort - all Aamir Khan movies are seen as a group effort and never a one-man show.
