Harbhajan Singh and MS Dhoni
Ahead of next month’s T20 World Cup, former India spinner Harbhajan Singh delved into the details of ex-captain MS Dhoni’s leadership skills that made Men in Blue the inaugural champions of the format back in 2007.
In the nail-biting summit clash between the two arch-rivals—India and Pakistan, the result was decided on the final over as Dhoni-led side won the match by five runs in Johannesburg, South Africa. The veteran spinner credited Dhoni for his decision-making and involving team members before taking the final call. “Not many people know, Dhoni was a very new captain, so he needed that support from all of us.
