Despite the retirement of Superman AB de Villiers, the Proteas team still looks one of the most balanced teams in the world cricket at the moment. With Hashim Amla, Faf du Plessis and Quinton de Kock being their batting core, they have plenty of good players in the form of Reeza Hendricks, Heinrich Klaasen, David Miller, Farhaan Behardien, Aiden Markram, and Khaya Zondo to choose from for the middle order sports. The allrounder spots too are contested between Chris Morris, Dwaine Pretorius, Wiaan Mulder, and Andile Phehlukwayo. Like always, South Africa's bowling attack is still their biggest strength.

The presence of Kagiso Rabada, Lungi Ngidi, Dale Steyn, Tabraiz Shamsi, and Keshav Maharaj make it one of the better bowling attacks at the moment. With almost all the links in place, the only thing that can still come to haunt them is their habit of choking in the big matches. The inclusion of an able leader who is adept at relishing crunch situations makes the South African team complete.

Someone like MS Dhoni is a perfect option to do this role. The finals of ICC T20 World Cup 2007 and ICC Champions Trophy 2013 are the perfect examples to define MSD's brilliance as a captain.
