“Oo, best cricket captain. I’ve never played alongside him, but I’ve seen some of his tactics on the cricket field, and I really enjoyed MS Dhoni. I’ve really enjoyed, I really enjoyed his captaincy from afar, playing against him, being in the middle, seeing his tactics and stuff like that. I’ve enjoyed that. So, I’ll say, for me, MS Dhoni,” he added.

Pollard said: “I’ve played Under-19 cricket with Sharma since then, and playing international cricket alongside and against, and playing underneath, I think he’s a fantastic, fantastic cricketer. The records that he has in one-day cricket especially are just phenomenal, and he has led us as our captain to five championship trophies as well.”

“So his stats and everything that he has done have spoken for himself, and I’ve said it before in interviews, he deserves each and every accolade that comes his way, and he deserves, when he decides to call it a day, to call it a day and not be forced out in any way possible,” Kieron Pollard concluded.
