"I’m fond of Dhoni’s captaincy. I believe his name should be there amongst the all-time greatest captains. He has an excellent sixth sense and can effectively make predictions about what’s in store. His cricketing sense is also outstanding. As a captain, Dhoni has a great win percentage as well,” Mushfiqur was quoted as saying in Business Standard.
“There’s no major tournament that he hasn’t won. He is a skipper I like very much. Earlier I said that I didn’t have an idol. But now you can call Dhoni as my idol. Captains around the world can look up to him for inspiration,” he added.
Rahim has led Bangladesh side for 37 ODIs and out of which they won 11 matches. Not to forget, Bangladesh had reached the 2012 Asia Cup final under his captaincy but failed to win the final against Pakistan. They had won two out of three matches.
In Test, he captained Bangladesh for 34 matches and they won 7. While in T20Is, Rahim could lead his side to 8 wins out of 23.
