The SportsRush brings you the compilation of all the quotes that have been said about the Greatest Indian Captain, MS Dhoni!

VVS LAXMAN

“He has that uniqueness to respond to a tough situation with ease. He does not involve himself much emotionally, and that’s his quality. India are lucky to have a captain like Dhoni.”

MICHAEL CLARKE

“Dhoni played really well. He is a class player. And his statistics show that. He is a very good striker of the ball and you saw that in the last over with that six that he hit off Clint McKay.”

SOURAV GANGULY

“As far as one-day cricket is concerned, Dhoni is one of the greatest captains of all times in India.”

“Dhoni backs players as well. People like (Suresh) Raina, (Ravindra) Jadeja, and Rohit Sharma have developed under him as players and has some terrific qualities as a leader.”
“Dhoni has been an outstanding captain. His record as captain is terrific. He still has a lot of cricket left in him and he has done wonders to Indian cricket”

SUNIL GAVASKAR

“He (Dhoni) has got this ability of rising from the ashes. It is his temperament where he has treated those two imposters — fame and failure — in just the same manner.”

GUNDAPPA VISHWANATH

“He is undoubtedly one of the best captains we have ever produced.”

AJIT WADEKAR (after Champions Trophy ’13 victory)

“It was a superb win. Hats off to Dhoni, I think he is the best captain we have got. Despite not having Sachin ( Tendulkar) Rahul (Dravid), Dhoni could get all the youngsters together and showed the team spirit within this unit. This looks like a complete team and Dhoni is probably the best captain India has ever had.”

MAHELA JAYAWARDENE

“One inch here and there and a guy like Dhoni could take you apart. He is a great finisher, he is cool and calm and backs himself. He is a strong character.”

ION BISHOP

“If 15 runs are needed off the last 6 balls, pressure is on the bowler and not on MS Dhoni.”
