MS Dhoni has brought so much revolution to the Indian cricket since his debut in 2004 than any other of this contemporary. He changed the dynamics and meaning of a wicketkeeper batsmen in Indian Cricket.
Indian wicketkeepers were never seen as assets for the team before Dhoni, but after 2004, this hasn’t been the case. In fact, since Dhoni made his international debut, India never needed any other wicketkeeper. Selectors are already in a spot of bother that who will be India’s next man behind the stumps after MSD.
The standards set by MS Dhoni will be tough for any other youngster to match. However, India doesn’t have to worry for the moment. Dhoni who played his 300th ODI in the ongoing series against Sri Lanka completed his 100th stumping in One Day Internationals in the fifth ODI on Sunday. With this, he became the first wicket keeper in international cricket to affect 100 ODI stumpings. His 100th stumping was of Akila Dhananjaya of Yuzvendera Chahal.
Dhoni has mastered the art of wicket keeping over the years. His innovative wicket keeping has changed the methods of keepers all over the world. His fan following is immense in India as well as in other nations. Twitter exploded to congratulate the master after his 100th stumping.
First man to punish a 100 men who crossed the Lakshman Rekha. What more, it happens in Lanka. Talk about fitting tributes. ?
