Former Indian spinner, Harbhajan Singh is one of the best spinners the world has seen in the past three decades. However, since getting dropped from the national side, the spinner has been making every opportunity count in domestic cricket. In the past decade, Harbhajan has established himself as one of the best bowlers in the IPL.

During this time, BHajji has had the opportunity to play the two most successful IPL captains, Rohit Sharma, and MS Dhoni. Having played for Mumbai Indians from 2008 till 2017, Singh has seen IPL trophy wins with the franchise. In 2018, he moved to Chennai Super Kings and even found success there.

With the CSK squad, he won one more IPL trophy in 2018. In a recent interview, he spoke about the way in which Rohit and Dhoni conduct their captaincy.

Talking about MS Dhoni during a chat with ESPNCricinfo’s The Cricket Monthly, Bhajji said, “He is not a captain who says, do this, do that. He wants you to do what you know you can do. Bowl what you know you can. If you can bowl six off-spinners, do that. Yes, he has nudged me at times – from behind the stumps or at the change of overs – saying, this guy is trying to do this or will try this. But he never tells me what to do.”

Comparing Dhoni’s tactics with that of Rohit, the off-spinner further pointed out that he never stays away from giving a bowler an attacking field. He also revealed that the Mumbai skipper can go as long as having a Test match field if the bowler wants that.

Harbhajan explained, “Rohit also gives a lot of freedom to the bowlers but thinks wickets at all times. He will not interfere with your bowling. If you want an attacking field, he will give it. It is not compulsory that if a left-hander comes, you get a slip whether the ball spins or not. Then at times, we have had a short leg and two slips.”
