The upcoming ICC event T20 world cup to held in India from next year 2016, 8th March to 3rd April, it would be interesting between two Indian captains MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli to see who would lead in upcoming icc event.The limited over captain MS Dhoni has named lot of glories after being the the captain in Indian team. To win the first t20 world cup in 2007, leading top of the test ranking in a year and having so many trophies like IPL in his career.
As a captian Dhoni has named 3 ICC trophies as ICC World T20 in 2007, ICC World Cup 2011 and ICC champions trophy in England. But after ICC World cup 2015, his captaincy seems decline, as people think he has taken many wrong decision. In the recently T20 series against South Africa, India lost 2-0 and the question were raised about his captaincy. India in upcoming ICC T20 event is grouped with New Zealand, Pakistan and Australia in a qualifier. Dhoni has led India in 49 T20 matches winning 27 and losing 20. His ability to remain calm in pressure situations makes him a special captain. In 2014, MS Dhoni led India to finals where they lost to Sri Lanka after then Dhoni gives enough chances to the players whom he has a lot of trusts. In 2015 when India lost all matches before start World Cup in 2015 in Australia against England and Australia everyone expected that India is not capable of reaching the knockout rounds but MS Dhoni and his team played excellent cricket to reach the semi-finals of the tournament. In 2015 MS Dhoni has not had a good year losing the series to Bangladesh and South Africa.

While the aggressive middle order Virat Kohli has started only led in Test matches so far, no doubt his captaincy has been impressive till now. He does as MS Dhoni, to puts trust on the players and backs them up. He (Virat Kohli) still has to learn how to remain compose to tackle pressure situations with his aggressive attitude. Virat Kohli is the key player of Indian middle order. So, he needs to perform well with the bat and contributes to the team success. Kohli has played under MS Dhoni captaincy. He became Indian test captain after MS Dhoni retired from test cricket. He impressed lot after winning the test after 22 years and also beating the top-ranked Test side in the world by 3-0 at home.
I think MS Dhoni will be a better choice than Virat Kohli because of the knowledge of captaincy in big tournaments. MS Dhoni plays exceptionally well when the team is in a crisis situation. It will be ideal for India to see MS Dhoni lead on his own home turf. The Indian team captain MS Dhoni showed the world how to handle pressure. The team combination he picks will be important.
MS Dhoni has the ability to raise the bar of the game when the situation is tough. With 3 tough teams in the group it is better to have MS Dhoni as a captain in the World T20 than Virat Kohli.
