#1 MS Dhoni
Any list of finishers is incomplete without the master of run chases, MS Dhoni. The spectacular lower order hitter is no longer burdened by captaincy duties and this could make him all the more dangerous going into a tournament.
Dhoni has completed so many chases for India that even statisticians have lost count. No one can forget is 2011 World Cup final knock that made him the king of finishers. Dhoni's finishing qualities stem from sheer confidence in his abilities.
India have a terrific batsman at the top in Virat Kohli and having Dhoni down the order to finish off games makes them a frightening unit going into the Champions Trophy. He has 776 runs in 24 matches since the World Cup in 2015 at an average of 38.80. His spectacular hundred along with Yuvraj in an ODI against England last month proved that Dhoni is far from a finished force.
