Former India captain MS Dhoni has not only led India successfully for so many years but also inspired an entire generation. He is the only captain to have won all the ICC trophies in his tenure as well. Meanwhile, KL Rahul, the current India batsman has also applauded Dhoni in a recent interaction with Forbes.

“The minute anyone says ‘captain’, the first name that comes into anybody’s mind from our generation, our era, will be MS Dhoni,” said KL Rahul. The latter went on to say that any player who has played under Dhoni will willingly take a bullet for him. “We have all played a lot of cricket under him. Yes, he has won a lot of big tournaments and done so many amazing things for the country but the biggest achievement any captain can have is have the respect of your teammates and any of us will happily take a bullet for him without a second thought,” said KL Rahul during an exclusive interview with Forbes India.

While talking about his current India captain Virat Kohli, KL Rahul added, “Playing with and under Virat Kohli, he is a different sort of captain. He is a very passionate individual. He operates at 200. 100 is the best you possibly can be at, but he operates at 200. He has the unbelievable ability to carry the other 10 guys and pull them from 100 to 200.”
