It isn’t often that you come across a player who has achieved as much success as Dhoni has in limited-overs cricket. The 2007 World T20, 2011 World Cup and the 2013 Champions Trophy triumphs are a symbol of excellence in Dhoni’s career and will be spoken about even after he is done with the game.
The fact that he achieved two out of the three wins – the 2007 World T20 and 2013 Champions Trophy – with relatively inexperienced attacks is a testament to not just his captaincy skills, but also to his ability to make the best use of available resources.
India has had the likes of Mohammad Azharuddin, Sourav Ganguly etc, who did a fine job during their time as skippers. But none of them were as successful as Dhoni has been across different formats.
