Mumbai: Former India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni is known for many things. And that includes being the only captain to win all three ICC trophies (ODI World Cup, World T20 and Champions trophy), power-hitting, chasing down impossible looking targets and many more.
Under Dhoni’s leadership, Indian cricket touched unprecedented heights. Apart from winning the major trophies in the shorter format of the game, India also reached the top of ICC Test rankings under the Jharkhand cricketer’s guidance.
The Ranchi lad’s journey from being a ticket collector in 2001 to being India’s most successful captain is nothing short of a fairy tale. Dhoni has always been seen as a natural leader, but one of the most important elements of the wicket-keeper’s leadership has been his calm and composed demeanour.
“Mahi’s’ cool as ice nature has helped him become India’s biggest match-winner and the same was acknowledged by Indian batsman Mohammad Kaif on Twitter.
Kaif, who is extremely active on social media, was asked by one of his fans to say a few words about Dhoni.
The batsman - who himself scored an unbeaten 87 to script a historic win against England in the Natwest Trophy final in 2002 – described Dhoni as “the coolest man one can ever know”.
