MS Dhoni may or may not play another match for the Men in Blue but his legacy has forever been impinged in the cricketing folklore as one of the greatest ever captains that this beautiful game has ever seen.
Dhoni took over the leadership reigns of the Indian cricket team with the inaugural T20 World Cup in South Africa back in 2007. And, what really stood out from the outset was his calm demeanor even in the direst of situations.
Dhoni’s greatest ability as a captain was that he was a leader of men. He backed his players to the hilt, giving them all the confidence of expressing themselves on a cricket field, without having any fear for their place in the side.

Mohammad Nabi heaps high praise on MS Dhoni
A plethora of players, who have played under the leadership of MS Dhoni, whether it is for the Indian team or Chennai Super Kings have time and again testified how the former World Cup-winning captain always keeps his room open for his players and how he is always open for a discussion.
Afghanistan all-rounder Mohammad Nabi is the latest to join the bandwagon where he hailed MS Dhoni as a ‘calm and great human being’.
“MS Dhoni is the best, calm and a great human being. The doors of his room are open 24*7 for everyone where he has tea with people and talks to them. I have met him 2-3 times and he is really a nice man.” Mohammad Nabi during an interaction with Anis Sajan.
Apart from Nabi, the likes of Rashid Khan and several other Afghanistan players, who have seen Dhoni from close quarters during the Indian Premier League have frequently heaped praise on the former Indian captain.
Meanwhile, MS Dhoni is yet to feature in a competitive game since the 2019 World Cup semi-final against New Zealand. Since then, Dhoni has been on a sabbatical. He was scheduled to make his return to competitive cricket with the 13th edition of the IPL but that too got postponed due to the deferment of the cash-rich league due to the outbreak of coronavirus [COVID-19].
