The former Indian captain and the ICC Hall of Famer Sunil Gavaskar has hailed MS Dhoni’s captaincy as the best ever in a conversation on the Cricket Live show on Star Sports. He went on to say, “There hasn’t been a captain like him and there will never be one like him in the future.”
Under MSD’s leadership tenure, CSK has won the IPL trophy four times and reached the finals nine times. While leading the Indian Cricket Team, he was able to secure three ICC trophies and attain the no. 1 ranking in tests for the first time ever.
Recently, MS Dhoni also became the first captain in history to lead a team for 200 IPL matches. He achieved this feat while captaining Chennai Super Kings against Rajasthan Royals at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on April 12.
Sunil Gavaskar was very appreciative of MSD’s captaincy on Star Sports and said, “CSK know how to get out of tough situations. This has been possible only under MS Dhoni’s captaincy. Captaining 200 matches is very difficult. Captaining so many matches is a burden and it could have affected his performance as well. But Mahi is different. He is a different captain. There hasn’t been a captain like him and there will never be one like him in the future.”
The legendary Indian opening batter also talked about Virat Kohli and his influence on RCB in the IPL 2023 as they are going to face CSK next at home in the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium on April 17. He opined, “Virat Kohli is giving RCB flying starts at the start of the innings. He deserves a lot of credit for the starts RCB is getting and the runs the team is managing to post on the board because of his starts. These are good signs for RCB.”
