MS Dhoni, the leader

MS Dhoni is one of the best captains to have played the game of cricket. His understanding of the game is priceless and not to forget the guidance that he provides to the youngsters coming into the team. He is a man of vision and has also recently stated his reason to step down as the captain in ODIs.

"I resigned from captaincy because I wanted the new captain (Virat Kohli) to get enough time for preparing a team before the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019," said MS as per the reports in SportsRush.

He also added that “selecting a strong team without giving the new captain (Virat Kohli) appropriate time isn’t possible. I believe that I left the captaincy at the right time.”

With Rohit Sharma leading the side in the absence of Virat Kohli, MS Dhoni will be key to India's success in the Asian competition.
