New Delhi, April 18: Former England skipper Kevin Pietersen believes M.S. Dhoni is the greatest-ever captain because of the weight of expectations he had to deal with, both while captaining India and Chennai Super Kings in the Indian Premier League (IPL)

"It will be very difficult just with the weight of expectation to go against M.S. Dhoni because of what everybody expects from him, how he has to live his life and what he has been through captaining India and then captaining the CSK," Pietersen said while speaking on Star Sports 'Cricket Connected' show when asked how difficult it is to go against Dhoni as greatest ever captain.
