Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB)'s new captain Faf du Plessis said that he found MS Dhoni to be complete "opposite" to what it was like captaining in South Africa.
The 37-year-old has been an integral part of Chennai Super Kings side under Dhoni since 2012.
"The crazy thing for me really is when I started with Chennai, I had this idea of what captaincy and leadership look like. And MS was completely opposite to what I thought it would look like because of my culture in South Africa,"
"And I came into this environment like, this guy's completely different than I thought it should be," Du Plessis said.
The Proteas batter further talked about his own captaincy style and said he will not try to be MS Dhoni and Kohli.
“What it taught me was that there were different styles, but it is important that you need to be (have) your own style. Because that’s the thing that always comes through when the pressure is on,"
"So, I can’t try to be Virat Kohli because I’m not Virat Kohli. I can’t try to be MS Dhoni. But there are things I’ve learned that helped me grow my leadership style and mature. So, I’m grateful for that journey,” he added.
