As far as captaincy record is concerned, Dhoni is easily the best Indian skipper ever as far as numbers are concerned. In 60 Tests as captain, he won 27, and lost 18. Dhoni’s record in limited-overs cricket remains enviable, as in 194 ODIs as captain, Dhoni has won 107. In 70 T20Is — most for any international captain — Dhoni has 40 victories. Dhoni’s performance in the T20 World Cup 2007 and the backing of senior players helped him become the ODI skipper later that year. It was under his captaincy that India had topped the rankings in all the three formats of cricket. Under Dhoni's captaincy, India was also the world No.1 team in Test cricket, a feat which was achieved for the very first time in the history of Indian cricket.
