Indian wicketkeeper-batsman Parthiv Patel weighed in on the different captaincy styles of Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, the most successful captains in Indian cricket over the last decade.
Dhoni won India the 2007 World T20, 2011 World Cup and the 2013 ICC Champions Trophy as captain while captaining Chennai Super Kings to their three Indian Premier League wins.
After Dhoni, Kohli has taken over the captaincy of the team a period where the Indian cricket team have been the most consistent in recent years.
Sharma on the other hand has deputised in Kohli’s absence but has guided Mumbai Indians to four IPL crowns.
Patel who has played under all three captains with the Indian team or at the IPL felt, Kohli, is a bit different from the other two in terms of the way he carries himself on the field.
“Virat has a different style of captaincy, he likes to be right in front every time, he likes to be lead from the front and be aggressive all the time,” Patel told Aakash Chopra during his YouTube show Aakash Wani.
“It is his style and it has suited him. Dhoni and Rohit keep the dressing room calm while Virat makes sure that everyone is on their toes and they all keep pushing themselves,” he added.
