Mahendra Singh Dhoni is unarguably the most successful captain Team India ever had. It was under his leadership that Team India lifted the coveted ODI World Cup trophy in 2011. The hosts defeated Sri Lanka in the summit clash by six wickets at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Apart from Dhoni, one person who also played a major role in India's triumph was former South Africa batter Gary Kirsten, who was Team India's head coach in 2011. Kirsten joined the Indian coaching setup in 2008 and took Team India to new heights. The former coach recently spoke about his partnership with Dhoni and called him a "standout leader", who is always focused on the team's growth.
