#1 MS Dhoni
Speed and Dhoni must be first cousins, to sum up their affinity towards each other. For a beefy man, Dhoni pummels the pitch to submission in his all-out hurtles as he converts singles to doubles and further on with unbelievable efficiency. Athletic ability is the bulwark of his game and what makes him special is his diligent fitness regimes to ensure he delays the effects of ageing.
In the era where a dive is a pardonable excess, Dhoni’s sure-footed methods behind the stumps and his alacrity in accepting opportunities to squeeze in the extra run have given India the insurance against some of their persistent shortcomings. …and Dhoni clatters away like a train in a great rush!
