Top 3 Reasons which makes Dhoni a great captain!
Skill on the field
Dhoni is always known for his strategy. He always has an effective plan to win the match, Dhoni reads bowler’ss mind before the ball being bowled.
Apart from this, from behind the wicket he always gives important instructions to the bowlers which most of the times prove very beneficial for them. As far as the batting is concerned, he always knows where the fielders are and where is the gap, he may take some balls to settle down at the initial stage but after that, he makes sure that India ended up winning the match. He has a fantastic average while chasing.
Cool attitude
Dhoni’s calm attitude has been the highlight of his cricket career. Due to this quality, he is known worldwide as ‘Captain Cool’. Dhoni has always kept his anger under control. Even in tense situations, his calm attitude has won many matches for India. He has an incredible ability to take right decisions in pressure situations.
Selflessness
In the early phase of MS Dhoni’s career we have seen that he is great top order batsman but because India needed a good finisher and there were players who were only good at the top order, for them, he sacrifices his spot and played most of his innings on lower order.
He could still have captains for India, and no one could get him out of captaincy, but still looking into future he gives the captaincy to Virat. Dhoni always keeps telling Virat what he should do and what the right decision is in a pressure situation.
