Shahid Afridi picked his choice between MS Dhoni and Ricky Ponting as a better captain. Afridi, who himself led the Pakistan team for a long period, chose Dhoni over the former Australian captain.

The veteran Pakistan all-rounder is known for his strong and straightforward opinion. On Wednesday, Afridi took part in a Q&A session on Twitter, where he didn't shy away to give some bold answers.
A fan asked Afridi: "Better captain Dhoni or Ponting? Lala choice."

To which Afridi replied: "I rate Dhoni a bit higher than Ponting as he developed a new team full of youngsters."

The former India captain groomed many budding cricketers who are now the world-beaters, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are two of them.

Dhoni is the only captain in the world to win all three ICC trophies as captain. He led Team India to 2007 T20 World Cup, 2011 World Cup and 2013 Champions Trophy titles to complete his trinity.

While Ricky Ponting is considered as one of the greatest captains to ever play the game. Under Ponting's leadership, Australia won back to back World Cups in 2003 and 2007.
