#2 MS Dhoni (India)

MS Dhoni is one of the best finishers to have graced the ‘gentleman’s game’ and hence, he just had to be a part of our list.
However, since the culmination of the 2015 World Cup, the wicket-keeper’s powers seem to be on the decline. Dhoni has been the target of the Indian fans’ ire over the past couple of years yet has somehow managed to answer those doubters with his bat time and again.
A perfect example of the same was in the 2nd ODI at Adelaide where he was under tons of pressure after a sub-standard display in the first game.
There aren’t many better in world cricket who can handle pressure with as much aplomb as Dhoni. Thus, he is still one of the best-equipped batsmen to come up trumps when the pressure is turned up a notch.
Though his hitting prowess has diminished, his attribute of running hard between the wickets and being a step ahead of the bowler places him on a higher pedestal than some of his contemporaries.
Thus, Dhoni makes it to our list and takes the runner up spot.
