Dhoni Doesn't Dictate, Rohit Thinks Wickets: Harbhajan Singh Spots the Captaincy Difference

The debate over who is the best in captaincy among MS Dhoni, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma has become a never ending one. All the three evidently have different styles of captaincy but in most cases end up with the same result - a win.

Comparing MS Dhoni and Rohit Sharma's styles of captaincy, Harbhajan Singh said while Dhoni is a captain who does not dictate terms, Rohit thinks wickets all the time.

"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 offspinners, do that. Yes, he has nudged me at times -- from behind the stumps or at change of overs -- saying, this guy is trying to do this or will try this. But he never tells me what to do," Harbhajan Singh was quoted as saying by TOI.

Harbhajan Singh also cited Shardul Thakur as an example when he got smashed everywhere in a match in Pune. "I went to Dhoni and told him, "Why don't you tell him [Thakur] to change the angle or push a fielder back?" As if he had all the time in the world, Dhoni said to me, "Bhajju pa, if I tell him anything now, he will get confused. Khaane do (let him get hit)."

Harbhajan Singh is currently representing Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the cash-rich Indian Premier League (IPL). He had earlier played for Mumbai Indians under Rohit Sharma.
