Australia star dissects captaincy styles of Kohli and Dhoni

Indian cricket first saw a seamless transition of captains between MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli before seeing Rohit Sharma join the leadership group. When it comes to the role of the captain, the three characters have different styles. While Kohli is known for keeping his heart on his sleeve, Dhoni is known for his calm demeanor. Rohit is also known as a cool client that provides freedom to players.

Former Australian all-rounder Shane Watson analyzes Dhoni and Kohli’s captaincy patterns after playing under the two captains in the Indian Premier League. Watson was part of Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Super Kings Chennai before quitting all forms of cricket in 2020.

Kohli may not be part of the current governing body, but the flashy hitter is credited with injecting fitness culture and helping the Test team reach new heights.

“Virat has done incredible things as a leader, how he can push the players, he has high expectations of himself and he brings that to every game he plays. Come on to me Saying, I think Virat is a super human who knows how to push players. Virat is an unbelievably good guy, he’s a balanced character off the field and his knowledge is fascinating. With RCB’s Virat The collaboration has been a great experience for me,” Watson said in ICC commentary.

Watson went on to point out that Dhoni’s calm temper and instinct bodes well for the team. “MS Dhoni has ice in his veins, he is able to take stress out of a team environment, he trusts his players, he makes sure everyone believes in their abilities. He knows what works for him and those around him. He believes in Because out of his instincts on the court, he trusts the players to do their research and do what needs to be done on the court,” he added.

Rohit was named Test captain last week after Kohli stepped down from the role. He currently leads India in all three forms and Watson believes Rohit’s captain was inspired by his “elegant” batting style.

“He’s a natural and easy-going leader. I watched him lead the Indians in Mumbai tightly and nothing seemed to upset him. Stressful situations. The IPL’s expectations for Mumbai are always high. I love watching Rohit hits, he’s a classy hitter, and he brings that to his captaincy,” Watson continued.

Gambhir acknowledges that his “sole regret in seven years of captaincy” is Suryakumar Yadav: “KKR failed to recognise his potential.”

Throughout his incredible career with the Mumbai Indians since 2018, Suryakumar Yadav has become a household name. He has established himself as a vital member of the batting lineup and is seen as the team’s future leader. He was able to establish himself in the Indian white-ball team and get to the top of the IC batting rankings in the format because to his valiant efforts at MI. But before he was let away, Suryakumar was a member of the Kolkata Knight Riders lineup from 2014 to 2017. When former captain Gautam Gambhir reflects on the two IPL titles won by KKR during that time, he named the star player from India his greatest regret.

KKR featured Suryakumar Yadav from 2014 to 2017.

In 2012, Suryakumar began his IPL career with the Mumbai Indians, appearing in just one match before being cut loose the following year. He was signed by KKR in 2014, and he won the championship in his first campaign there. The right-handed batter scored 608 runs in 54 games during his four-year tenure with the team, although the majority of those runs were scored as a lower middle order hitter.

In an interview with Sportskeeda on Monday, Gambhir said that his biggest regret as KKR captain is that he failed to recognise Suryakumar’s ability or his ideal batting position in the lineup.

Finding and showcasing the greatest potential is the responsibility of a leader. If there’s one thing I regret from my seven years as captain, it’s that neither I nor the squad were able to fully utilise Suryakumar Yadav. And combinations were the key to the cause. At No. 3, you may only play one person. As a leader, you also need to consider the other ten players in the starting lineup. Although he was just as excellent at No. 7, he would have been far more effective at No. 3, he said.

Gambhir went on to praise Suruyakumar for being a team player, citing the reason behind his appointment as the team’s vice-captain in 2015.

He was a team player as well. A good player may be anyone, but becoming a team player takes skill. Playing him at No. 6 or 7 or benching him, he was constantly grinning and eager to contribute to the squad. He went on, “That’s why we named him vice captain.”
