Image Credit @BCCI Dhoni spills the beans about captaincy: India's one of the most successful captains, Mahendra Singh Dhoni talked about his tenure as captain and said, "During my tenure as a captain, I have learnt that there is nothing like common sense." "Many times, I used to think that this is common sense. Sometimes you think, 'I don't need to say this', but in a team environment you need to say everything," he said in an interview. "I need to spend time with an individual for understanding him. You cannot advise an individual anything until you know him," he added. He also addressed that he finds it sensitive to explain to players their omissions from playing XI. "I have felt that in a team environment, the biggest problem was answering questions like ‘Dhoni, what is the reason for which I’m not playing the matches.” "Then they would also add 'I am asking you a question, but you don't need to give an answer'."
