MS Dhoni is one of the best finishers in the history of cricket
Dhoni has made a name for himself with his batting, wicket-keeping and captaincy. One of the toughest skills in cricket is to finish off the innings because the batters need to take risks regularly. Also, the opposition captain often saves the best bowlers of his team for the death overs.
Even after retiring from international cricket, MS Dhoni has continued to wow the fans with his finishing skills. In the recently concluded edition of the Indian Premier League, Dhoni helped the Chennai Super Kings win a league stage match against the Mumbai Indians with a classic last-over finish.
Thus, it is not a surprise that the star player of Thailand women’s team Natthakan Chantam idolizes him for finishing.
