MS Dhoni was the only captain to win all three ICC\u2009trophies \u2013 the 2007 T20\u2009World Cup, the 2011 ODI\u2009World Cup, and the 2013 Champions Trophy,<\/p>\n
On the contrary, Ricky Ponting who is a former Australia captain and batting legend believes that there was a stark difference in leadership skills between him and former India captain MS Dhoni. Ponting, during his time as Australia skipper, led his team to back-to-back ODI\u2009World Cup wins.<\/p>\n
Ricky Ponting who will lead Delhi Capitals as a coach in the forthcoming season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) which is all set to get underway starting 19th September, stated that he is keen to face Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings in the IPL T20 league.<\/p>\n
Ponting explains why Dhoni was a great leader and points out one thing that he himself could not do as a leader that Dhoni could. \u201cMS Dhoni never seems to let his emotions get the better of him, which is a really good trait in a leader as hard as I tried when I was on the field, I could never quite stay in complete control of my emotions.\u201d Ricky Ponting said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIndian teams always seemed to lift when he was captain. He always seemed to have this knack to be able to get the best out of his players. You knew that he had things under control, and his teammates loved that about him, I spend a lot of time in India now, so I know how revered he is in that part of the world. Even when you travel around the world and you listen to cricket fans, they talk about Dhoni and his leadership and how calm he seems to be under pressure on the field,\u201d\u2009Ponting added.<\/p>\n
\u201cChennai has been one of the most consistently strong and competitive teams in the IPL, and a lot of that\u2019s got to come down to Dhoni\u2019s leadership as well. I\u2019m looking forward to coaching against him now and making sure he doesn\u2019t win any game off his own bat when Chennai play the Delhi Capitals,\u201d\u2009Ponting signed off.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
