He is the best captain I have played under. He is very sharp and always alert. He reads the situation well and is open to sharing ideas. He always has discussions with bowlers, batsmen and senior players separately. ” Sachin Tendulkar He stays calm. Situational awareness has been his biggest strength. He reads the situation well, is open to ideas, and above all, he doesn't show frustration. Sachin Tendulkar again Dhoni is the greatest captain of our country. His record is proof of that. ” Sourav Ganguly Dhoni is the Obama of cricket. ” Praveen Kumar It feels good to be compared to a player like him. Dhoni is like God. ” Saurabh Tiwary Dhoni was a junior player when he became captain (in 2007) but with his performances, he established his authority on the seniors. I am not a junior, but I want to lead from the front like him. ” Shahid Afridi MS, to me, from a personal point of view, is a very special leader to play under. I have a very good relationship with him, having played alongside him for four IPL seasons. ” Albie Morkel (SA player)

There's a lot of support for him and the team seems to be so relaxed around him, and that is great. ” Sir Vivian Richards (after T20 World Cup win) It is stressful doing wicketkeeping, batting and captaining the team. He has handled the pressure well and I am confident he will do well with the willow in the World Cup. ” Kiran More before '11 WC I am very fond of Dhoni as a cricketer. He is extremely modest, hardworking and dedicated. I like his body language and the way he approaches his game. He likes to take risks and is not afraid of losing in the bargain. ” Dilip Vengsarkar Dhoni is my hero. We talk a lot about Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag, but this boy has as much as talent as anyone in the game. ” Kapil Dev I strongly believe in Dhoni. He's a clever captain and will come up with some sort of a plan. ” Kapil Dev before 2011 WC

Dhoni has no false modesty and judges the situation to ably tackle it. He had the quality of a good leader and everytime he tries to give 100 per cent. ” Greg Chappell I have never seen a player give as much effort to every game. I've never seen him lose his temper. He loves taking responsibility and when the team loses, no one feels it more than him. ” Gary Kirsten Dhoni does not give you an impression that he is tired. We actually felt he might get tired after such a rigorous World Cup campaign, but we were amazed. ”Andy Bichel, Chennai Super Kings bowling coach
Dhoni is the most assured and relaxed captain and he has the respect of his players. He is also an astute tactician and a genuine match-winner. ” Imran Khan
Dhoni is the best of all modern captains. ” Ian Chappell Dhoni has changed the face of Indian cricket. he leads from the front. He has charisma and the players like him. He has given this team confidence. ” Wasim Akram
MSD- Coolest Indian Captain Ever! Best wishes to him on his Birthday! May he win many many more cups and titles for the Indian cricket team! God Bless Him!
You have surpassed every cricketer in India. Highlights of your awesome profile: - World Cup winning captain of the first ever T20 world cup played and 1st world cup for India in 24 years at that time. - World Cup winning captain of 2011. - Test captain of #1 team in World - World's #1 ODI batsman a couple of years back - IPL winning captain 2 times - CLT 20 winning captain
Many more lead roles in leading India to victory through your calm and composure.
Compare this with Sachin....pooh...pooh...he is not equal to one dust particle in your shoe. You should appoint him as your car driver but make sure you give his a booster seat as he will not be able to look over the steering wheel and get you into an accident. Ferrari beggar.
