Rohit Sharma vs MS Dhoni Ravi Shastri makes his pick

Ravi Shastri opened up about the comparison between captain Rohit Sharma and ex-captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni. Shastri admitted that both the players are at par, with Rohit’s unforgettable leadership in the T20 World Cup 2024 and Dhoni’s multiple accolades.

“As a tactician, let’s not forget that he’s been an outstanding guy. He’ll go down as one of the best captains ever alongside Dhoni. If you ask me who’s better, I’d say both are on par when it comes to tactics in the white-ball game. I can’t pay a bigger compliment to Rohit than that because you know what MS has done and the titles he has won,” Shastri said on the ICC Review.

“Rohit is not far behind and I thought tactically he was just outstanding in this year’s (T20) World Cup. Just the calmness, the ability to get a (Jasprit) Bumrah or a (Hardik) Pandya, or even an Axar Patel at just the right time when needed was great to see,” he added.
