IPL 2019: Why Virat Kohli has been unable to do what Rohit and Dhoni do so often

India Today  

Another edition of the Indian Premier League came to an end on May 12 when Mumbai Indians' Lasith Malinga foxed Chennai Super Kings' tailender Shardul Thakur on the last ball of the final to steal a 1-run victory for MI. This was Rohit Sharma's 4th IPL trophy as a captain, surpassing MS Dhoni's 3 trophies with CSK. While Rohit and Dhoni's fairytale with the IPL is very well documented with a total of 7 trophies amongst them, Kohli's case is pertinent as to why a popular international captain is failing to mirror that success in the cash-rich T20 league. MS Dhoni - Been there, done that Courtesy by BCCI Matches as captain - 174 Won - 104 Win% - 60.11 IPL titles - 3 Arguably one of the greatest white-ball cricketers ever, MS Dhoni proved his captaincy credentials as soon as he took over the reins of the Indian team for the inaugural World T20 in 2007. Having trumped Dhoni's CSK 4 times out of 4 this season, Rohit Sharma has now proved that when it comes to the IPL, he is as good a captain as anyone else.
