“He can easily sit in an Australian dressing room and easily captain it” – Matthew Hayden on MS Dhoni
Matthew HaydeÂn a former Australian cricket sensation reÂcently shared his insights on what makes MS Dhoni stand out as a reÂmarkable captain. He expreÂssed his belief that Dhonis humility and commitmeÂnt to teamwork would have seamleÂssly positioned him as the captain of a prestigious Australian squad.
During an interview with Sports Vikatan, Hayden stated:
“Dhoni is exactly what I was saying before. He can easily sit in an Australian dressing room and easily captain it because he believes that he is not bigger than anyone else. He’ll collect bags, he’ll throw cricket balls. He’s just a very humble individual. And he works hard at the team and not on promoting Dhoni.”

The former CSK opener continued:
“You’ll never hear him telling people how great he is or what he’s achieved. That is Dhoni’s X-factor. You look at Australia and go ’25 million people. How did they win the World Cup against us?’ Dhoni… he just finds a way to galvanize people together and does it in a way that is nothing about ego, not about self-promotion.”
