New Delhi: Former India batsman VVS Laxman says India's recent success shows a captain is as good as his team and the presence of other finishers in the side has made lifer easier for Mahendra Singh Dhoni.
Laxman, while praising Dhoni a day after he led India to the Asia Cup title, said the India skipper has lot more options, be it in batting or bowling, than what he had in 2015.
"What I like about Dhoni is that he is very equanimous. He never changes on a cricket field. For me, his worst time came in 2011 when the team lost badly in England and Australia and then he remained calm and composed. The team is doing well now under his leadership and that also show that the captain is as good as his team," said Laxman here on Monday.
Further making his point, Laxman said: "In batting he has realised that there are other finishers in the team and he is not the only one. That should help his batting going forward.
In bowling, he has so much more options than last year with the return of Ashish Nehra and emergence of Jasprit Bumrah.
Then you have all-rounders like Yuvraj, Pandya and Raina. That gives him many more options."
Laxman added that the other teams in Asia have a lot of catching up to do with India.
