Steve War gives the next MS Dhoni in Indian cricket
Donna He continues to be one of the most inspirational and successful captains in the history of Indian cricket. Under his gentle leadership, India won all major ICC trophies – the 2007 T20 World Cup, the 2011 ODI World Cup, the 2013 Champions Trophy.
Since Dhoni’s retirement, the question of who could become his true successor is stuck. But Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma Both differentiated and guided India and had their own impact, making fans find it difficult to place anyone on the same pedestal as “Captain Cool.” Now, with Kohli and Rohit separated from Test cricket, the baton has passed to the younger generations. According to the former Australian captain Steve WarIndian cricket may have found the next Dhoni.
Steve War gives a glimpse of Ms Dhoni, a young Indian captain.
In a recent conversation with yearWar praised the young Indian batter Shubman Gill He then suggested that he saw him the same leadership qualities that once defined Dhoni.
“Gil also has Dhoni’s talent. Gill is calm and cool. He has the same abilities as Gill that Dhoni had. The Indian captain is in the competent hands. Shabman Gill is a great player, especially under pressure. Waugh said.
Waugh’s praise came when Gill is being groomed for a bigger leadership role, already captaining his IPL side, and was recently appointed Team India’s test captain prior to the much-anticipated tour of England.

War also honed patience and support from fans and experts, whilst celebrating Gill’s potential for leadership. In his view, Gill is definitely the best choice to lead India, but he emphasized that young people need time to grow into roles. War acknowledged the immense burden that comes with captaining a nation like India, where expectations from over a billion fans could be overwhelming. He believed that Gill had the right mindset and skills to thrive under pressure, but his development as a captain takes space and time. According to War, allowing Gill to evolve at his own pace is important to his long-term success.
“He’s a great choice, but it’s important to give him time to fully adapt to the role. That’s a huge responsibility. 1.4-1.5 billion people come with a lot of pressure and he’s young, so he has a good opportunity to prove himself as a captain.” Waugh has been added.
War drew a comparison between Gil and Dhoni, highlighting similarly calm and composed actions. He noted that, like Dhoni, Gill has the ability to bring stability and clarity to his team. However, he emphasized that it is important not to overwhelm the young cricketers with constant comparisons and expectations. War advised the public and the media to refrain from scrutinizing Gill early in his leadership journey, noting that unnecessary pressure could hinder his growth.
“Mr Dhoni’s actions are similar, so Gill is good for the team, but he has to do his part well. As he is the captain of India, he has a lot of pressure on him. War has been added more.
