#6 MS Dhoni - c & wk(India)

After India's shock exit from the 2007 World Cup, India were blessed with a captain who was born to lead. After the debacle in the ODI World Cup, Dhoni brought home the ICC T20 World Cup in 2007 itself. A little while later, Dhoni was also made the ODI captain and then began the Dhoni era in Indian cricket.
Under MS Dhoni's captaincy India fulfilled the 28-year long wait by winning the World Cup in 2011. The winning six by him against Sri Lanka at the Wankhade stadium is firmly etched in the memories of every Indian cricket fan and will be cherished for many years.
in the 199 matches that he captained India, he scored 6633 runs with an average of 53.92 at a strike rate of 86.29. Last year, he stepped down as the captain of the ODI side so that the new captain, Virat Kohli had enough time to settle in before the 2019 World Cup. Once a leader, always a leader and Dhoni has proved that time and again. Even though he is not the captain he has been there to guide the youngsters in the team.
