MS Dhoni is the first captain in 139 years of International Cricket to clean-sweep Australia. And he is the only captain who tends to take victory or defeat with the same demeanour, threw his hands up in joy when Suresh Raina slapped a last-ball four over point for the sweep. But while the youngsters in the team jumped around and ran on to the field to be with Raina and Yuvraj Singh, MS Dhoni stayed back, calmly taking in the moment. He handed over the winner’s prize to youngsters like Pandya and Bumrah and did not take any credit for the incredible Indian win. A great captain indeed who captained the country for a remarkable number of victories in the past and continue to do in the present and hoping to do even better in the future. I am sure MS Dhoni will be remembered in the name and game of cricket for many years to come not only as the best captain to lead our side, but as a captain cool and good human being too. A captain, who transformed all his dreams into a reality and strike a balance between victory and defeat and proved that he is a great leader.
