New Delhi: Former Team India opener and commentator Akash Chopra has compared the captaincy of Sourav Ganguly, MS Dhoni, and Virat Kohli over the matches of the knockout tournaments ICC. He also explained why the Indian team under Dhoni's captaincy has won big events. Akash Chopra has said that under Dhoni's captaincy, the Indian team won big titles because they never allowed their players to feel insecure before the big match.

Team India, captained by Sourav Ganguly, reached the ODI World Cup final in 2003, but suffered at the hands of Australia, while the Indian team led by Virat Kohli lost the final of the 2017 Champions Trophy final, the ODI World Cup semi-final in 2019, and the ICC World Test Championship in 2021. Talking about Dhoni, Akash Chopra said that team India, led by this great cricketer, flourished. He said that some of the things that make Dhoni the best captain in the world are that he does not change and he never made anyone feel insecure in the team.
Talking about Dhoni's captaincy, Akash Chopra said, "If you look at his team from the league stage to the knockout stage, the team and the players have been the same. They always have players who score runs in big matches. When you reach the quarterfinals, semi-finals, or finals, the team that makes the least mistake wins. Dhoni's specialty was that he used to go to the final with the same final XI that made the team less nervous and all the players felt safe.''
