Shane Watson, the former Australian cricketer who has worked under the leadership of Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni both, draws out a comparison between the leadership of the ex-Indian skippers. 

The retired cricketer has played for both Royal Challengers Bangalore and Chennai Super Kings. While he feels Kohli is superhuman, he says MS Dhoni has ice running through his veins. 

'For me Virat Kohli is superhuman, he knows how to push players around him', said Watson who feels Virat is a well-balanced character off the field. Praising his former colleague at CSK, the 40-year-old said that the ice-cool-headed MSD trusts his players and makes the players believe in their ability. 'He trusts his instincts on the field he trusts that players will do their research and do what is needed and do what is needed on the field', he added. 

Watson also lavished praise on India's current skipper Rohit Sharma who is on a spree of winning series for the nation. Calling Sharma a natural leader, Watson said that he is easy-going and as the Mumbai Indians' leader nothing seemed to faze him. 

Rohit Sharma who has won both The T20I and ODI series against West Indies is all set to start his journey as the Test skipper from the upcoming 2 match Test series vs Sri Lanka.
