There is no doubt that MS Dhoni is indeed one of the best wicket-keeper-batsmen in the world. Across all format, the veteran showed his batting and wicket-keeping prowess.

KP, taking to Twitter, wrote, "I’m actively seeking the clip from the Test match at Lords to put to bed all these claims that I WAS Dhoni’s first Test Wicket. I hate to break it to you - I WASN’T!"
