Rohit Sharma Or MS Dhoni? Ex-India Stars Differ In 'Best IPL Skipper' Choice

Former India opener Virender Sehwag has picked Mumbai Indians' Rohit Sharma over Chennai Super Kings' MS Dhoni as the best IPL captain because of the number of trophies the franchise has won in the last 15 years. Mumbai Indians are the most successful IPL side with five trophies, followed by Chennai Super Kings, who have won four titles. "The numbers tell you everything. See, MS Dhoni had the experience of captaining the Indian team and then he became the captain of the Chennai Super Kings. Rohit Sharma's first captaincy stint was with the Mumbai Indians, and from there, his journey to success began. "So, that's why he deserves more credit. Much like Sourav Ganguly, who became the captain of the Indian team and tried new and different things. Under his leadership, India became the number one one-day team. That's why my pick is Rohit Sharma," Sehwag told Star Sports during a programme to celebrate 15 years of the IPL.
