Mohit Sharma has mostly played under MS Dhoni and he says the former India skipper is a true leader who does not back off when it comes to taking responsibility in crucial times. The 31-year-old pace bowler has played under Dhoni both in the Indian team and at Chennai Super Kings in the IPL. Although he was to play for Delhi Capitals in this season of IPL, the COVID-19 outbreak and lockdown have postponed the league indefinitely.

"His humility and sense of gratitude is what sets him apart from other players I have played with. In sport, there's a difference between a captain and a leader - I believe he's a true leader," Sharma said during an Instagram live organised by the Delhi franchise. "When the team wins, you'll never find him anywhere prominently, but when the team loses, he's always right in front, taking responsibility - that's the sign of a leader and why I admire him so much."

The coronavirus outbreak and lockdown has also delayed his return to competitive cricket after back surgery but Mohit Sharma shared whenever the IPL will take place, his side will give a tough fight to others. Notably, he was out of action for nearly 10 months due to a back injury, which troubled him for long.

He added, "I think it is a huge opportunity for our team. We have a fantastic group of players with a very strong Indian core, and I believe our team has the right players in all departments who can help us in challenging for the trophy. So I feel our fans can expect huge things from the team."

However, he said that he was not sure if he would be able to return to the game because of the surgery but he is now looking forward to learning a few things from former Australia captain Ricky Ponting, who is the coach of Delhi franchise.

"I'm still excited to represent the franchise. I feel it's a young team with a solid Indian core, and I know most of the players here - like Shikhar Dhawan, Ishant Sharma, Amit Mishra, Harshal Patel - both on and off the field very well,” he concluded.
