When it’s about MS Dhoni, Mike Hussey said that the former Indian skipper is a lot more calmer. Dhoni’s ways of making moves is much for tactical and it’s not easy for everyone to deduce what he is thinking. He adds that Dhoni has the capacity to calm the younger players and keep everyone on track.
“MS makes some moves out there in the field, I’ll be sort of thinking “where’s he going with this?” Inevitably it might work. How did this come from? He just backs his gut feel. Two different captains but both very effective in their own ways.”
