Who's your favourite player and captain of the decade?
Earlier this week, former India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni completed 15 years in international cricket. His achievements in the last decade have been extraordinary and fans unanimously showed some love for him.

But there were other contenders from the Indian team too! With 5,775 more international runs than anyone else in the decade, Virat Kohli was not too far behind.
Quite honestly

...including some exceptional women cricketers
But when it came to choosing a captain of the decade, the adoration for Dhoni was almost incomparable.
Love @msdhoni from Pakistan he will always be my Idol 💖

A no-brainer for me personally. @Bazmccullum & @MClarke23, my all-time favourites & tough to differentiate.

A captain cannot be judged only by wins, but also by how he marshals his troops & how respectful he is towards the opponents.
I've always looked up to these two gems. pic.twitter.com/EZjnpXu5sP

And not to forget some respect for associate nations!
Have never seen a better cricket captain than @davour23👇🏻

I don’t care about the duration he played. He hang his bat early but will forever call him ‘my captain’ 🏏 https://t.co/1vtTDaSa7z pic.twitter.com/FhTTv9ZLfC
