One talismanic captain is followed by another as we welcome former Indian skipper MS Dhoni next on this list. The dasher’s contribution to Indian cricket is priceless, and his record speaks volumes of his prowess. Dhoni’s hitting capabilities tormented bowlers, wicket-keeping prowess kept batters on their toes, and his on-field decisions left the cricket world in awe.

Before Dhoni’s debut, India tried many wicket-keepers in Parthiv Patel and Dinesh Karthik among many but no one could deliver as per expectations. However, the everlasting quest was ended when a long-haired guy from Jharkhand donned the India blue in 2004. He burst onto the scenes with his big-hitting and also earned accolades for his precised glovework.

He became a calculated hitter with time and earned the title of a ‘best finisher.’ Dhoni also proved to be a brilliant captain as he led the Men in Blue to three ICC titles, being the only skipper to achieve this feat. Now, what more can you expect from an individual.
