Dhoni always takes responsibility when team loses: Mohit Sharma

He has played most of his cricket under MS Dhoni and pacer Mohit Sharma says the revered former India skipper is a true leader who does not back off when it comes to taking responsibility in challenging times.

The 31-year-old pacer has played under Dhoni both at Chennai Super Kings and the Indian time. He was to play for Delhi Capitals this season but the lockdown has postponed the league indefinitely.

"His humility and sense of gratitude is what sets him apart from other players I have played with. In sport, there's a difference between a captain and a leader - I believe he's a true leader," Sharma said during an Instagram session organised by the Delhi franchise.

"When the team wins, you'll never find him anywhere prominently, but when the team loses, he's always right in front, taking responsibility - that's the sign of a leader and why I admire him so much."
"I think it is a huge opportunity for our team. We have a fantastic group of players with a very strong Indian core, and I believe our team has the right players in all departments who can help us in challenging for the trophy. So I feel our fans can expect huge things from the team."
"I would be okay with using sweat as well to shine the ball."
