Former Australia all-rounder Shane Watson has praised Indian cricketers. He has described Virat Kohli as a superhuman. Watson said that former India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni has ice running in his veins and is a very cool person. Watson has played under the captaincy of both Virat and Dhoni in the IPL. Watson played for Chennai Super Kings (CSK) from 2018 to 2020. He was also the hero of CSK’s victory in 2018. At the same time, in 2015 and 2016 he played for Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB).
“Virat Kohli has high expectations from himself”
Watson told during the ‘ICC Review’ – Virat has done many great things as a captain. The way he gives confidence to the player, he is worthy of praise. Virat has so much expectation from himself and he tries to do well in every match he plays. For me Virat is a superhuman. He is also a good person. He also has good knowledge of cricket. It was wonderful for me to work with him at RCB.
“Dhoni has full faith in his players”
Watson said about Dhoni – snow runs in his veins. He does not let the pressure come on the players and keeps the atmosphere pleasant. Dhoni has full faith in his players. He assures all the players to believe in his abilities, which is fantastic. They know what is right for them and the people around them. They also have complete confidence in their decisions. He has confidence in his players that he will come on the field with complete research and preparation.
Watson also praised Rohit
Only last week, Rohit Sharma was chosen as the new captain of the Indian Test team. Virat Kohli had resigned from the Test captaincy after the South African tour. Watson also praised Rohit and said – he is a natural leader. I have seen him captain Mumbai Indians and he never seems to be in trouble. He has a lot of experience leading his team.
“Rohit’s captaincy is as brilliant as his batting”
Watson said – it is a big deal to captain a big franchise like Mumbai and that too in difficult situations. People have high expectations from Mumbai in every IPL. I also love watching Rohit bat. He is a player with great technique and the same is reflected in his captaincy. Rohit will take over the captaincy of the team in this format for the first time in the upcoming Test series against Sri Lanka.
