A captain’s approach is crucial for any team. He can set the tempo of the side and even lift or guide them in difficult situations. MS Dhoni and his predecessor Virat Kohli are completely different to each other as captains and both have been successful in international cricket in their own ways.
Dhoni has achieved immense success as a player and also grew up to be one of the most successful captains and achieved almost everything the ICC tournaments had to offer. Kohli took over in 2014 and he has only grown as a captain. He likes the ruthless approach in his side and has become the most successful Test captain for Team India.
