The greatest T20 XI of all-time

#5 MS Dhoni (Captain and Wicketkeeper)

MS Dhoni

Unsurprisingly, MS Dhoni makes it to our side not only as a wicketkeeper-batsman but also as the Captain of our XI. The highlight of Dhoni’s T20 career came in the initial stage itself. With a young side, he led India to a World T20 win in the inaugural edition and stamped his authority as a captain. He was then the talk of the town and was picked by the Chennai Super Kings in the 2008 IPL auction. He has led them to 3 IPL titles and 2 CLT20 wins and has an extraordinary record as a captain.

Dhoni also won the 2007 T20 World Cup and led India to the 2014 edition as well.

As a batsman, Dhoni has close to 6000 runs in the format at an average of 38 in 297 matches. These numbers appear staggering given the fact Dhoni has batted at No. 5 or below for the better part of his career.
