MS Dhoni would perhaps be the best wicketkeeper batsman to come out and play for the Indian Cricket team. An astute strategizer and a cool customer, he would also go on to take India to some of the famous wins of Indian Cricket, and in turn becoming the first Captain to add all three ICC tournaments’ title to his bag. The top cricketer, also known as the finisher for his batting supremacy in the middle/lower order, would have some batting and wicketkeeping records to his name as well.
