His field setups, coupled with his bowling changes does make him one of the best captains in the shortest format of the game. He is the only player to have captained a single IPL side in all the eight seasons. Even players like Bravo and McCullum have expressed their satisfaction in playing under such a captain. Also, the best of a player gets extracted to the fullest. This can be proven from the fact that Bravo is currently the purple cap holder in this season with 19 wickets.
