All-rounder Stuart Binny tried to draw a comparison between Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni. Binny has played under Dhoni's captaincy in the Indian team, while he featured in Kohli's Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in IPL 2016 and 2017.

Binny said Kohli gives a bit more liberty, but Dhoni ensures the players get enough opportunities to perform. Both have their own way of captaincy and he talked about it to Indranil Basu for Sportskeeda.

The 36-year-old, who made his debut for Team India in 2014, said he doesn't think there are many differences between Dhoni and Kohli.

"I don't see much of a difference. The roles to the players would be a lot different. With Mahi, he depended on 2,3,4 guys to carry India to try and finish games with him. The captaincy of Virat, he gives you more freedom and allows you to express yourself a lot more," said Binny.

"I think he gives guys great opportunities as well, it's not that Mahi didn't do it, of course, he did. But at that time there was a lot going through Mahi's head and where Virat is, he's free and plays that freely as well," he added.

India has not been able to win a single ICC tournament for the last 7 years despite having a side filled with match-winners. They came very close to the trophy on more than a couple of occasions but failed. 

Binny believes the pressure is playing an important role in keeping the Indian team away from the title. "Definitely pressure is a factor but we do so well at the start of the tournament. I think we peak too early in tournaments. The guys are very experienced and hopefully, the young guys coming in can carry the weight on their shoulders," stated Binny.
