There would be no doubts on who will be the most watched wicket-keeper in the tournament. MS Dhoni will wear the gloves and take up the bat for India in his fourth consecutive ICC World Cup. Widely regarded as his last, the Ranchi star would be determined to leave with a positive note.

Dhoni has played 341 ODI matches for India and scored 10,500 runs. His contributions behind the stumps include 314 catches and 120 stumpings. The 37-year old will again be in charge of finishing the innings but will have additional support from players like Hardik Pandya.

The former Indian skipper has had a good year on the field so far. From 8 ODIs he has scored 327 runs including 4 fifties. The same form has been extended onto the IPL. For Chennai Super Kings, Dhoni has scored 316 runs from 11 matches.

The age-old 'Dhoni special' finishes were seen at numerous times, which would be a ray of hope for the Indian team. The legend's recent form and experience at the big stage make him the most key wicket-keeper appearing in the Cup.
