Mahendra Singh Dhoni who is also called as Mahi, and I call him Captain Cool.He is currently captain of Indian Cricket Team in all formats.He has many contributions in Indian Cricket team, he is most successful captain of India due to fabulous records and he is only captain who has won Twenty 20 and ODI World-cup.After Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly he is only successful player of the Indian cricket team.
Barring Sachin Tendulkar, MS Dhoni is arguably the most popular and definitely the most scrutinised cricketer from India. He has done so coming from the cricketing backwaters, the mining state of Jharkhand, and through a home-made batting and wicketkeeping technique, and a style of captaincy that scales the highs and lows of both conservatism and unorthodoxy. Under Dhoni's captaincy, India have won the top prize in all formats: the No.1 Test ranking for 18 months starting December 2009, the 50-over World Cup in 2011 and the World Twenty20 on his captaincy debut in 2007.
In at number six, is uber cool Mahi frustrating a fresh cut cucumber –captain of World Champions India, the most ruthless and consistent wicket keeping batsman in world cricket today- MS Dhoni. Dhoni’s extra ordinary pair of hands are responsible for launching the ball outside the park on a number of occasions. Slamming bowlers and destroying careers in a matter of six deliveries, is somewhat Dhoni’s hobby. His trademark shot, wrongly named the ‘helicopter’ shot, is actually an ‘apache assault chopper’ shot which takes every bit of grass (and at times even skin) with it when belted towards the boundary with one of the meanest wrist movements that you’ll ever see. Dhoni is, above all, a match winner. His batting record shows how instrumental he has been in most of India’s victories over the last couple of years and more. With 11,000 runs to his name, Mahi storms in at number six and still manages to score more than all the top order batsmen in the world. His captaincy record further strengthens his position as he is the only captain in the world to win the ODI World Cup, the T20 World Cup as well as lead his side to be the number 1 Test side.
Dhoni’s wicket keeping record is simply outstanding. The man is already nearing 500 dismissals. Thestyle in which he stumps the batsman out is crunch time for photographers around the world.Athleticism and intelligence combine to give the Dhoni the extra advantage which he uses to dismiss batsmen in a flash.
Without a doubt, Dhoni will surely surpass the top three and become the world’s greatest wicket keeper. This is not a fan’s prediction, but a careful observation after looking at the stats. Top Ten Greatest Wicket keepers Of All Time puts MSD at number four for now.
