MS Dhoni

South African batsman David Miller heaped praise on former India captain MS Dhoni and named him the game's best finisher. Mahindra Singh Dhoni had a brilliant record of finishing the game. The Indian wicket-keeper batsman was a master in determining the match situation and always stayed ahead of the opposition. MS Dhoni was always calculative in his mind and knew which bowlers to target. Before MS Dhoni, Michael Bevan was widely acknowledged as the best finisher of the game because of his calculative approach.

MS Dhoni has amassed 2,876 runs in successful chases for India

In the 2000s, MS Dhoni gave this role a new dimension. The right-handed batsman remained unbeaten 47 times in run-chases. He has also amassed 2,876 runs in successful chases for the team. His exploits as a finisher have made him a role model for many young cricketers worldwide. South Africa's star batsman David Miller who performs the role of finisher for the Proteas side, is also an admirer of MS Dhoni. During a fun session on Twitter, a fan asked Miller to describe the former India captain. In response, Miller stated that Dhoni was his favorite cricketer and he is the best finisher. 

Both David Miller and MS Dhoni were recently seen during the 14th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL). Miller featured for Rajasthan Royals (RR), whereas Dhoni led Chennai Super Kings (CSK). David Miller managed to score 62 runs in a match and showed his destructive side. However, he failed to get going in the rest of the games as he ended up scoring just 88 in five games.

On the other hand, the CSK captain found it very difficult. He has failed to score a half-century since the 2019 season. MS Dhoni would often come in late to bat, but he was unable to get going immediately. MS Dhoni was brilliant while leading the Yellow Army, and his decision to send England all-rounder Moeen Ali up the order proved to be a masterstroke. However, MS Dhoni will now be seen in action in September when the IPL resumes. On the other hand, David Miller will be in action against the West Indies team for their limited-overs series starting in June.
