Yuvraj Singh: Dhoni is one guy, who grasps
things very quickly and has really transformed
his game. Youngsters can learn a lot from him.
And I think he has handled the captaincy really well.
Sachin Tendulkar: He is the best captain I have played under. He is very sharp and always alert. He reads the situation well and is open to sharing ideas. He always has discussions with bowlers, batsmen and senior players separately.
Sachin Tendulkar: He stays calm. Situational awareness has been his biggest strength. He reads the situation well, is open to ideas, and above all, he doesn't show frustration.
Harbhajan Singh: His cricket, his decisions, his manners, all speak for themselves, he is right up there as a skipper.
Sourav Ganguly: Dhoni is the greatest captain of our country. His record is proof of that.
Praveen Kumar: Dhoni is the Obama of cricket.
Saurabh Tiwary: It feels good to be compared to a player like him. Dhoni is like God.
Albie Morkel: MS, to me, from a personal point of view, is a very special leader to play under. I have a very good relationship with him, having played alongside him for four IPL seasons.
Dilip Vengsarkar: I am very fond of Dhoni as a cricketer. He is extremely modest, hardworking and dedicated. I like his body language and the way he approaches his game. He likes to take risks and is not afraid of losing in the bargain.
Kapil Dev: Dhoni is my hero. We talk a lot about Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag, but this boy has as much talent as anyone in the game.
Navjot Singh Sidhu: Dhoni is the greatest captain India has ever seen.
Gary Kirsten: I have never seen a player give as much effort to every game. I've never seen him lose his temper. He loves taking responsibility and when the team loses, no one feels it more than him.
Imran Khan: Dhoni is the most assured and relaxed captain and he has the respect of his players. He is also an astute tactician and a genuine match-winner.
Keshav Banerjee, Dhoni's coach at DAV school, Ranchi: He has become the biggest brand of Indian cricket, but remains the same. He has not changed a bit which is really commendable.
Ian Chappell: Dhoni is the best of all modern captains.
Peter Roebuck: He came to cricket as might a passenger at a train station, reached captaincy, runs, fame and riches not as some ruined child or as a street urchin destined to cover himself in bracelets but as a grounded and gritty young man for whom wealth was a consequence and not an aim.
