Cricket legend Mahendra Singh Dhoni has won it all as the captain of the Indian cricket team and now has the chance to lift another title. In the past two years or so, Dhoni has reinvented his cricket and is in the form of his life. Under Virat Kohli, there were talks of the veteran wicketkeeper getting sidelined when runs were difficult to come by. But Mahendra Singh Dhoni showed once again his ability to fight back those difficult times in style. His wicketkeeping skills though have never dipped and he continues to be the best in the world in that department.

MSD, as he is fondly called, has played 20 innings in England and has 665 runs to his name at an average of 36.94. He is yet to hit a century but does have six fifties to his credit in English conditions. He may play as a floater in England depending on the situation but his importance in India’s chases knows no bounds. If ever the top order crumbles, MSD can absorb pressure better than anyone to shape the Indian innings.
