MS Dhoni has spent a substantial part of his ODI career as a captain himself, but he has also played under the captaincy of 7 other captains.
Dhoni made his ODI debut under Sourav Ganguly and then played under Rahul Dravid and Virender Sehwag before taking over as the Indian captain himself. Here is Dhoni’s batting average under various different captains he has played under.
7.Rohit Sharma
For some reason, Dhoni has consistently failed whenever he has played under Rohit Sharma. Rohit has captained the Indian team a few times in the last couple of years because of the unavailability of Kohli and while India, as a team, has performed very well under Rohit, Dhoni has individually struggled as a batsman.
Dhoni has scored 142 runs at an average of 23.66 in the 9 ODIs that he has played under Rohit so far.
6.Sourav Ganguly
Dhoni played under Sourav Ganguly for only a brief period of time, but he put on some ruthless performances. Dhoni’s strike rate under Ganguly was more than a run a ball and it was under Ganguly only that Dhoni scored his first ODI hundred against Pakistan.
Dhoni played 12 games under Ganguly and scored 418 runs at an average of 46.44 and a strike rate of 107.45.
