Former captain of Team India and Chennai Super Kings, Mahendra Singh Dhoni, has a huge fan following. Under Dhoni's captaincy, India has won three ICC trophies and CSK has won five IPL titles under Dhoni's captaincy. Ahead of IPL 2024, Dhoni announced his decision to step down from the captaincy and handed over the command to new CSK captain Ruturaj Gaikwad. Former Pakistan fast bowler Wasim Akram has made a unique prediction. Akram believes that if Dhoni had captained RCB, the franchise team would have won at least three titles by now. Apart from this, Akram also said that there has never been a cricketer like Dhoni in India.
'RCB would have won three IPL trophies'
In an interview, Akram said, 'If MS Dhoni had been the captain of this team, RCB would have won three IPL trophies by now. RCB has not won a single IPL trophy till date. He has modern timing like Virat Kohli. But unfortunately it could not win any title, but if Dhoni had been in RCB, he could have won the trophy for this team.
Dhoni is India's most successful captain
Akram further said, 'Go to any ground, whether you go to Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai or Punjab… Hyderabad, Lucknow, Ahmedabad, anywhere… Dhoni's fans are seen in the stadiums and there are no fans like him in India. If captain and wicketkeeper are not found or if India wins the match due to captaincy and wicketkeeping, then who will give Dhoni a grand welcome in the stadium?
