Suresh Raina compared Rohit Sharma to Mahendra Singh Dhoni after India defeated England in the fourth Test to take an unassailable 3-1 lead in the five-match series, that too at the JSCA International Stadium Complex in Ranchi.

In an interview, Raina said that Rohit is the next Dhoni, in terms of giving chances to youngsters in the team.

"He (Rohit Sharma) is the next MS Dhoni. He has done well. He has been giving a lot of chances to youngsters the way MS Dhoni did. I played a lot of cricket under MS Dhoni. Sourav Ganguly supported his team a lot. Then MS Dhoni came and led from the front. Rohit is going in the right direction. He is a brilliant captain," Raina was quoted as saying by TOI.

MSD is arguably India's greatest captain as under his leadership, India won the 2007 T20 World Cup, the 2011 ODI World Cup and a Champions Trophy as well as reaching the top of ICC Test rankings for the first time.
