5. A complete team player:
One of the most important qualities needed in a captain to excel and Dhoni is the epitome of this. A man who always puts the team’s interest ahead of him, Dhoni never cares for personal accolades. MS Dhoni’s average in ODIs at No. 4 is an astonishing 68.4, the best for any batsman in ODI history but he rarely bats at that position. Instead, he loves to bat lower down the order to help his team win matches without any hiccups.
