'MSD' echoes as netizens give a unanimous verdict
Netizens resounded just one name as ICC asked them to name their favourite skipper of the decade and it was no surprise as MS Dhoni's name dominated the comments section on Twitter. As the decade is drawing to an end, ICC took to social media to ask their fans who was their favourite skipper of the decade and in turn received an overwhelming response from the fans, who filled the comments section with MSD. Earlier, ICC had asked the fans to name their favourite moment of the decade for which majority of the fans had revealed that it was Dhoni hitting a six in the finals of the World Cup in 2011 to help India lift the cup after 28 years. While Dhoni has been on a break from international cricket ever since India's exit from the World Cup, the wicketkeeper-batsman has also made it clear that he would answer queries about his future only after January 2020.
