Azharuddin was reacting to Sourav Ganguly&rsquo;s view that he would be surprised if Dhoni leads the Indian team in 2019 World Cup and backed Virat Kohli for the leadership role.
&ldquo;It&rsquo;s Ganguly&rsquo;s personal opinion, but Dhoni has been India&rsquo;s best ever captain. He has won major tournaments and got India to the No 1 position. People go through ups and downs. It&rsquo;s okay if his currently form is not great, but he has been a pillar of strength for the youngsters in the team,&rdquo; said Azhar, who has 99 Test caps to his name.

The cricketer-turned-politician added, &ldquo;It totally depends on Dhoni, how fit he is mentally and physically. He needs to take into consideration how demanding the sport will be in future, but he should be give a chance to take a call on his retirement as he has served the country well,&rdquo; the Hyderabadi said while speaking at an event in the city to announce young driver Nayan Chatterjee&rsquo;s new association with Meco Motorsports.
