While Rohit Sharma has led Mumbai Indians to four IPL titles, MS Dhoni has enjoyed success three times. A lot has been written about the greatest captain in the history of the IPL. Many feel Rohit Sharma holds the edge over MS Dhoni, others have spoken in favor of the former India skipper.
Ashish Nehra, who has played under MS Dhoni, has picked his former teammate as the greatest.
Nehra, who played for Chennai Super Kings for two seasons in 2014 and 2015, picked Dhoni over Rohit.
“My pick for the greatest captain is MS Dhoni, under whose captaincy I have played the maximum, be it for the national team or in the IPL. I haven’t played under Rohit, so I choose Dhoni,” Nehra told Star Sports.
Apart from his leadership, MS Dhoni is widely hailed for his batting as well.
The right-hand batsman has accumulated 4432 runs in 190 matches in IPL at an average of over 42 and a strike rate of over 137.
He was all set to play for the Chennai Super Kings in the upcoming seasons but it has been postponed due to the outbreak of the coronavirus.
