Ashwin praised Dhoni’s leadership qualities
Talking about Dhoni’s personality as a captain, Ashwin recently praised Dhoni during a Sky Sports Cricket podcast
“He does the basics well and most of the other captains miss the basic elemental stuff. It makes the game seem that much harder for them.” Ashwin said.
Speaking about his attitude as captain, he further added: “Never, for example, if I gave the ball to the bowler, the first thing I would say is ‘take your field and bowl to the field.’ I hated that when a hitter came to bat and you had a loose throw.”
Ashwin was part of the Indian team during the World Cup 2011 i Champions Trophy 2013both titles won by the Men-in-Blue under Dhoni’s leadership.
