Virat Kohli ‘superhuman’, MS Dhoni has ice running through his veins; Rohit is a natural leader: Shane Watson

Former Australian all-rounder Shane Watson has heaped praise on the leadership of MS Dhoni, Virat Kohli, and Rohit Sharma. Watson said Virat Kohli is superhuman while MS Dhoni is always calm and composed and Rohit Sharma is a natural leader.

The former all-rounder has played under the leadership of Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni in the IPL and has seen them at work from close corners.

Meanwhile, Virat Kohli recently decided to relinquish his captaincy duties and the baton has now been passed to Rohit Sharma. Kohli did a fine job as a leader in all three forms of the game and Rohit is expected to take forward the legacy. Rohit has savored great success as a leader in the IPL and he has led Mumbai Indians to five titles.

On the other hand, MS Dhoni is well known to get the best out of the players. Dhoni is still leading Chennai Super Kings in the IPL and had led the franchise to their fourth IPL title back in 2021.

“Virat as a leader has done incredible things, the way he has been able to push players, he has got such high expectations of himself and he brings that to every game he plays. For me, I believe Virat is superhuman, he knows how to push players around him. Virat is an incredibly good guy, he is a well-balanced character off the field, the knowledge he has is fascinating. It was a great experience for me to work with Virat at RCB,” Watson said on the ‘ICC Review’.

“MS Dhoni has got ice running through his veins, his ability to take the pressure out of a team environment, he trusts his players, he makes sure everyone has faith in their abilities. He knows what works for himself and the people around him. He trusts his instincts on the field, he trusts that players will do their research and do what is needed on the field,” he added.

“He is such a natural and easy leader. I watched him closely leading the Mumbai Indians and nothing seemed to faze him. He goes about his work incredibly well, he has had experience leading teams as well, captaining a franchise like Mumbai in high-pressure situations. There is always a high expectation from Mumbai in the IPL,” Watson further said.

“I love watching Rohit bat, he is an elegant batter and he brings that to his captaincy,” he added.

Rohit’s first assignment as a Test captain will be in the upcoming two-match Test series against Sri Lanka. India will next face the Island nation in the three-match T20I series.
