He is the greatest batsman, captain, and wicketkeeper India has ever had. His calm attitude during tough situations and his intelligence while leading the team from the front are amazing. MS Dhoni is an awesome cricketer.
Great to see him doing lightning-fast stumpings. What a player, captain, and manager. Icy cool attitude, very smart cricketer indeed. He's one of the best India has ever produced - sharp and calculative. Oh, I'm out of vocabulary. Thanks, Dhoni, for the great entertainment.
He is a very intelligent captain who leads the team well. He is also a very good batsman and the best wicketkeeper.

Adam Gilchrist

He scored 33 centuries in international cricket, with 17 in Tests and 16 in One-Day Internationals. Gilchrist is widely regarded as one of the greatest wicketkeeper-batsmen... read more
He is not only the greatest wicketkeeper ever, but he is also the greatest wicketkeeper-batsman of all time. The greatest in the game is second in IPL? Doesn't make any sense. There has never been a batsman like Adam Gilchrist, and there never will be. Even the mighty Red Sox tried to buy him, and they are a baseball team.
He belongs to that nation and team where every player plays for the nation, not for himself. He should be above Dhoni. Mahi is a brilliant player, but Gilchrist is awesome and intelligent.

Dinesh Karthik
He is currently the best wicketkeeper-batsman in India. He is even finishing innings better than Dhoni right now.
Clearly the best keeper and a classy batsman to boot. Highly underrated because of Dhoni's image. I expect him to outlast MSD, though!
Cool one! Plays for Mumbai and is class!

He is the best wicketkeeper in the whole of cricket history. I think the ICC has been fooled. Dhoni is good, but Kumar Sangakkara is the best. I think he should be number 1 here.

Brendon McCullum
He excels in everything he does. He is the most dangerous T20 batsman and the best in fielding and wicketkeeping. Just think, if he bowled, he would be the best. And I feel McCullum should.

Wriddhiman Saha
He is currently India's best wicketkeeper. He has great flexibility and good reflexes.

As a wicketkeeper, he is number 2, after Dhoni.
