2. MS Dhoni (India 2005-present)
Widely considered to be the best wicketkeeper produced in India, MS Dhoni had to work hard on his technique which seems to be more of a home grown one than a coached one. Dhoni came through as an answer to the Indian cricket fan prayers for a decent wicketkeeper who could bat. They got MS Dhoni who announced himself with a brutal 183 against SriLanka in a One Day in 2005.
His keeping skills improved with training and time. Selectors put faith in him, and we got an excellent captain who won India 2 World cups, no.1 Test ranking in both Tests and One Day internationals. He has also established himself as the best finisher in limited overs format.
He is considered the best keeper batsman in international cricket today.
