Former Indian off-spinner Harbhajan Singh who recently announced his retirement from all forms of the game has come up his captaincy choices for an all-star IPL game. Harbhajan himself is an IPL legend with 150 wickets in 163 games at an economy rate of 7.07 and he played most of his career for the most successful IPL franchise Mumbai Indians. He was released by the franchise ahead of IPL 2018 Mega auction and Chennai Super Kings invested in the spinner.
MS Dhoni played the off-spinner in the home games alone where the pitch offers a lot of turn and he proved to be a match-winner in the Chennai conditions. The 41-year-old spinner is among the few players to have played for the two most successful teams in Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings and he has captained MI in the past as well.
Harbhajan last played in IPL 2021 for the Kolkata Knight Riders in the first phase and was benched throughout the second phase. He was one of the clever bowlers who can bowl at different phases of the game and was very handy down the order as well. The IPL 2022 mega auction took place recently on February 12 and 13 in Bengaluru and the ten-team tournament is expected to begin next month.
Coming back to his captaincy choices, the Mumbai Indians Twitter handle had posted a tweet seeking for names to play the all-star IPL game. They had also questioned who would be the captains of the two sides. Harbhajan had no hesitation in picking Rohit Sharma and MS Dhoni as his captaincy options as he has played with both of them. Rohit is the all-time successful IPL captain with five titles while Dhoni stands second with four title wins.

Rohit was retained by the Mumbai Indians ahead of the IPL 2022 mega auction and Dhoni at 40 years was retained by the Chennai Super Kings side as well. Both these teams have a huge fan base in the country and an IPL all-star team would definitely feature a lot of players from these two teams.
