MS Dhoni is still lightning quick behind the stumps

A lot can be said about his batting as he is well past his prime. Although he can still win games on his own, he lacks consistency. But when it comes to wicket keeping, there is no one who can match him at the moment. He may not possess the ideal technique, but he is still effective and maybe even more efficient than he ever was.

There are numerous instances when Dhoni changed the momentum of the game with his wicket keeping. It may be through his lightning-quick stumpings, some fancy and cheeky run outs or even via some great catches. We hardly see Dhoni miss an opportunity behind the stumps. In addition to this, a wicketkeeper plays a vital role in the DRS calls and having an experienced wicketkeeper like Dhoni, whom you can trust blindly, is a blessing.
