Out of all the Indian captains that Dhoni has played under, he has averaged the highest under Kohli and it’s surprising because under Kohli’s captaincy, there have been regular question marks over Dhoni’s place in the Indian ODI side.

However, the numbers suggest that Dhoni has been fairly consistent under Kohli’s captaincy. Dhoni has played 57 games under Kohli and has scored 1513 runs at an average of 56.03.

Sehwag was the first captain who tried Dhoni as an opener and Dhoni excelled as an opener straightaway as he scored 96 runs in his very first game opening the batting against England at Jamshedpur.

Dhoni played just 4 games under Sehwag and scored 166 runs at an average of 55.33 and a strike rate of 94.31.

Dhoni, under his own captaincy, achieved the legendary status and was arguably regarded as the best finisher that the game of cricket had ever seen.

Dhoni averaged 53.55 in 200 ODI games which he played as captain and scored a total of 6641 runs with 6 centuries and 47 half-centuries.
