Watson
played under Kohli for Royal Challengers Bangalore and Dhoni for Chennai Super
Kings in the Indian Premier League.

“Virat
as a leader has done incredible things, the way he has been able to push
players. He has got such high expectation from himself and he brings that to
every game he plays. For me, I believe Virat is a superhuman, he knows how to
push players around him. Virat is an incredible good guy. He is a well-balanced
character off the field. The knowledge he has is fascinating. It was a great
experience for me to work with Virat at RCB,” Watson said on the ‘ICC
Review’.

“MS
Dhoni has got ice running through his veins, (with) his ability to take
pressure out of a team environment. He trusts his players, he makes sure
everyone has faith in their abilities. He knows what works for himself and
people around him. He trusts his instincts on the field. He trusts that players
will do their research and do what is needed on the field,” he added.

BCCI
had appointed Rohit Sharma captain of the Indian T20I team after the T20 World
Cup in 2021 when Kohli stepped down as captain. But later when BCCI removed Kohli as
captain of ODI and Test sides, Rohit was given the task of leading the side in
all three formats.

“He
(Rohit) is such a natural and easy leader. I watched him closely leading the
Mumbai Indians and nothing seems to faze him. He goes about his work incredibly
well. He has had experience leading teams as well, captaining a franchise like
Mumbai in high-pressure situations. There is always high expectation from
Mumbai in the IPL,” said Watson.

“I
love watching Rohit bat. He is an elegant batter, and he brings that to his
captaincy,” Watson added.
