IPL 2018: Rating the captains of each side

MS Dhoni: 9/10

Dhoni back in his den

Arguably the greatest ever captain to have led India, MS Dhoni is back to where he started his IPL career back in 2008 and Chennai Super Kings will be delighted to have assembled a solid squad around Dhoni.

However, the man himself will captain any side after January 2017 and how he gets back in the zone will be closely monitored.

Captaincy is natural to him, and we rate him 9 out of 10.

Rohit Sharma: 9.5/10

The winner of 3 IPL trophies

The most successful IPL captain and the most successful IPL player, Rohit Sharma just understands the game and knows how to win cricket matches.

He remains calm under pressure and extracts the best out of his assets. This trait has also shone through whenever he captains India and we expect him to once again pose a strong challenge to lift the trophy.

9.5 out of 10 clearly reflects Rohit's stature as a captain.
