MS Dhoni is arguably the best captain in the history of both Indian as well as world cricket as he is the only skipper to date to have won all the major ICC titles including the World T20, ODI World Cup, ICC Champions Trophy, ICC Test mace, Asia Cup 2010 & 2016, etc. Meanwhile, Dhoni also remains one of the successful IPL captains having led the Chennai Super Kings to three titles, two CLT20 titles and in the last four of all the editions of IPL that CSK have featured. Even former New Zealand cricketer reckons that MSD is best in the business.
