MS Dhoni (Image Credit: Twitter)
Former India skipper MS Dhoni is one of the best wicketkeepers in the history of the game. During his playing days, he used to change the game not just with the bat but also behind the stumps. Fans might remember the 2016 20-20 World Cup game between India and Bangladesh.
On the last ball of the game, the Ranchi player ensured that the team wins the game even after they needed to defend two runs off the last ball. Fast forward to 2022, the Men in Blue needed to defend two runs off as many balls in the must-win game against Sri Lanka in the ongoing Asia Cup 2022. Shanaka had missed the ball outside the off-stump facing Arshdeep Singh. Both batters, Shanaka and Bhanuka Rajapaksa took off for a bye.
Rishabh had a chance to hit the stumps to prevent the run. However, he missed the stumps even though he had all three stumps to aim at. The ball went to Singh, who also tried to run out the Sri Lanka skipper. However, the left-arm pacer also missed the stumps which is why the Lankan completed the second run to win the game. After this, the defending champions India are now on the verge of elimination from the tournament.
Fans remember Dhoni after India's loss against Sri Lanka
After the game, the Indian fans remembered MS Dhoni and pointed out how he won the 2016 20-20 World Cup against Bangladesh. Dhoni retired from international cricket in August 2020 although he played his last game 13 months before this. After his retirement from the highest level, he is only playing in the Indian T20 League for Chennai. Talking about his wicketkeeping record, he is one of the most successful keepers of all time across formats.
In the 538 games he played, he has 829 dismissals to his name, out of which 634 are catches and 195 are stumpings.
