MS Dhoni has his own style of wicketkeeping and has found some unique ways to be successful behind the stumps. He has one of the fastest hands in the business and can take the bail off the stumps in a blink of an eye. Dhoni in his career has taken 616 catches across formats and has effected a record-breaking 184 stumpings as a wicketkeeper.

As a batsman, he is regarded as the best finisher in the history of the gentlemen's game and has several records & accolades. He came in a time when the Indian team was looking at keepers who can bat down the order and Dhoni cemented the place doing that role. He has accumulated over 16500 runs and scored 16 centuries till now in his 14-year long career.

He became just the 12th player in ODI history to have scored 10000 runs.
