MS Dhoni or Virat Kohli? Who's the Captain of Cricket Australia's ODI Team of the Decade!
Home > News Shots > Sports newsCricket Australia announced its ODI team of the decade on Tuesday featuring MS Dhoni as captain. Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are the other Indian players who made it to the list.
“The input of MS Dhoni with the bat did tail off during the latter part of the decade, but he was a dominant force in a golden period for India’s one-day side. Having assured his greatness by guiding his nation to World Cup glory on home soil in 2011, the right-hander became India’s ultimate finisher with the bat,” said Cricket Australia about Dhoni.
“Dhoni’s average of more than 50 is undoubtedly boosted by the fact 49 of his innings were unbeaten. But on the 28 occasions he has been not out in a run chase this decade, India have lost only three times. And his work behind the stumps has rarely let him or his bowlers down,” it further added.
The ODI team also includes Hashim Amla, AB de Villiers, Shakib al Hasan, Jos Buttler, Rashid Khan, Mitchell Starc, Trent Boult and Lasith Malinga.
