It is always a close call between Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Virat Kohli, but Dhoni comes second because of Kohli’s sheer brilliance. Arguably the fastest runner between the wickets for the most part of the past 10 years, Dhoni has won a lot of games for India with his ability to rotate strike and score crucial singles and twos. Despite his tremendous power and strength, Dhoni always relies a lot on singles and twos.
