Yuvraj Singh compares Rohit's captaincy with Dhoni 

Indian all-rounder Yuvraj Singh praised the shrewd captaincy of former skipper MS Dhoni as he drew comparisons between the captaincy styles of Dhoni and Rohit Sharma. Yuvraj, acknowledged for his monumental contributions to Indian cricket, emphasized that Dhoni was a good captain but highlighted the fact that he also had a good experienced team that helped him win various tournaments for the country.

Yuvraj brought up this point while talking about Rohit Sharma's captaincy at the international level. Yuvraj believes that Rohit Sharma needs a good team in order for India to succeed at ICC tournaments.   

"I think Rohit has become a very good leader because he has led Mumbai Indians in IPL for such a long time. And He is a very sensible guy under pressure. You need to give a good team to a sensible captain, which is experienced as well. MS Dhoni was a good captain but he also got a good team right?" Yuvraj said in an interview on Cricket Basu's YouTube channel.
