New Delhi: MS Dhoni is the captain who changed the face of Indian cricket. When asked who is the best wicket-keeper in the history of Indian cricket, Dhoni will no doubt answer. Dhoni made his Test debut in 2004 against Bangladesh. But he was destined to run out on the first ball he faced. From there, Dhoni became India’s all-time great captain and wicket-keeper. Dhoni has scored over 15,000 runs in three formats.
Before Dhoni joined the team, Rahul Dravid was India’s wicket-keeper. Dinesh Karthik, Parthiv Patel and Ajay Ratra were all coming and going. But it was Dravid who made the team management more confident. Dravid has been India’s wicket-keeper in 73 matches. Dravid made 71 catches and 13 stumpings behind the stumps. Now, former selector Kiran More is talking about the possibility of replacing Dravid with Dhoni.
More says that Dravid brought Dhoni to another stage in his career. In his words … ” Dravid has been India’s wicket-keeper in more than 70 matches. And it was time for him to move on. Dravid needed to focus more on batting. India was looking for a power hit wicketkeeper. Apart from Dhoni, the team also had big hitters Virender Sehwag and Yuvraj Singh. The goal was to be the same kind of wicket-keeper.
That is how Dhoni was selected in the India A team in 2003. Dhoni has scored over 600 runs in a tournament in Kenya. That performance also opened the door to the Indian team. ” More continued.
