There Will Always Be A Captain Called Dhoni

Dhoni’s cool and composed demeanor worked wonders for the team in the shorter formats of the game. It was something that earned him the nickname ‘Captain Cool.’ His habit of scoring runs in the final over of the match also led to him being known as one of the best finishers in the game.

Forget the layman, even those who shared the dressing room with MS Dhoni didn’t have the slightest of hint about the decision Captain Cool had in his mind. Cricketing world suffered a jolt as MS Dhoni stepped down as India cricket team captain from the limited-overs format. Dhoni was not only a calm captain himself, but also he was the cause for calmness in others. He smiled, he showed displeasure, he chatted to the bowlers, but while his message was clear, no one could bet on what his thinking was. Not for him the romance and layered philosophy of the game; he was simple without being simplistic, straight forward without being naive, and knows his mind best. These qualities served him well as captain, they serve him well as a person.
