The former Indian skipper is renowned to be cool and calm in crunch situations and Karn Sharma believes that that trait brings the best out of MS Dhoni.

MS Dhoni is the only captain to have won all three ICC white-ball tournaments, namely the ICC T20 World Cup, the ICC ODI World Cup and the ICC Champions Trophy.

MS Dhoni has also won the Indian Premier League thrice with the Chennai Super Kings, with Karn Sharma being a part of CSK’s most recent triumph in 2018. Additionally, the leg-spinner also made his international debut under MS Dhoni. In an Instagram Live session with Dr. Yash Kashikar, the leg-spinner recalled an anecdote from that game.

‘Rohit Sharma and MS Dhoni have similar captaincy styles’

Karn Sharma has also played under Rohit Sharma’s captaincy when he represented the Mumbai Indians and won the IPL with the franchise in 2017.

The leg-spinner added that both Rohit Sharma and MS Dhoni have similar captaincy styles and that both allow their bowlers to set their own fields.

Rohit Sharma is the most successful IPL captain, having won the title four times with the Mumbai Indians.

Karn Sharma also praised MS Dhoni for not cracking under pressure handling himself impeccably. The leg-spinner quipped that that helps the team punch above its weight, meaning that they end up on the winning side more often than not.
