Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni are considered legends in the cricket world for their contributions to Indian cricket. However, England's all-rounder Moeen Ali, who recently retired from international cricket, made a statement saying that Eoin Morgan and MS Dhoni are the best captains so far. Ali has played under both MS and Kohli, but he still went on to choose the former for certain attributes he has in himself.

"Yeah, him [Eoin Morgan] and MS Dhoni, obviously. But for England, yeah, Morgs was outstanding. Unbelievable captain, leader, had everything that a great leader has and all the attributes that are needed to be, and what he achieved," said Moeen Ali. 

Ali played for a brief period in RCB and then was with the CSK for a long time. He was a crucial CSK family member, scoring runs and claiming wickets consistently. He has announced his retirement from international cricket and will only play in league matches worldwide. A handy left-hander, Moeen Ali is a great player in overseas conditions and was also brilliant for England in his career. 

England have announced their squad for 1st T20I against Australia

Phil Salt is set to lead the English attack in the upcoming T20I series in the absence of white-ball skipper Jos Buttler. ECB has announced the playing XI for the 1st T20I against Australia, where three newcomers will make their debut. Moreover, the team is almost new and young, but some old faces are also there, including Sam Curran, Jofra Archer, and Will Jacks. These are some solid players in the shortest format, and it wouldn't be easy for Australia to win the series. 

England's squad for 1st T20I against Australia: Phil Salt, Will Jacks, Jordan Cox, Liam Livingstone, Jacob Bethell, Sam Curran, Jamie Overton, Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid, Saqib Mahmood and Reece Topley.
