I don’t understand this graphic because it shows 5 keepers with a higher miss percentage than Dhoni.

Dhoni was a rubbish cricketer and a PR product but his keeping was spin bowling was pretty decent, although he was nowhere near Saha whose Test career he ruined.

Saha is arguably the best pure keeper India has ever produced and deserved to play 100 Tests.

the extract is a bit mis-leading, according to cricinfo Dhoni has missed 66 times which is apparently the most number of chances missed by any keeper.

Dhoni literally transformed Indian cricket. One of the greatest ever ODI batters and finishers and an ATG wicket keeper.

here is a suggestion ... Don't quit your day job in order to try wicket keeping. It wont end well. just my 2 cents.

I just wish he didn't overstay his welcome by 5 years or so. I loved Dhoni in ODI cricket. A fine finisher during his prime, a fine wicket keeper, and a very fine captain in the ODI format.​

Dhoni was an ordinary player made to look like a legend because of media hype. Useless in two out of three formats, good in ODIs but cashed on a very prolific top order.

The finisher gimmick wouldn’t have worked in a weaker team, and as captain he capitalized on Ganguly’s team. He also brought the Test team to its knees before Kohli revived it.

His super fake biopic summed up the man that Dhoni is and how his rise as a so-called legend and savior of Indian cricket was just a media construct.

The finisher gimmick was overblown as well. Any half-decent player could have done what he did, and he actually lost India more matches than he won. Let’s not even talk about him leaving balls outside the off-stump in the 2019 semifinal when India needed 12 an over and even the New Zealand bowlers couldn’t believe what he was doing.

Someone like DK who spent his career in his shadows produced a better finish than Dhoni ever did in the Nidihas trophy vs Bangladesh, an innings that would have had 100x more media hype it came off Dhoni’s bat.

Dhoni is just a propanda. Nothing more. The biggest fraud in Indian cricket history along with Laxman.

From a Pakistani perspective I would have ranked our keepers like this

1. Adnan
2. Sarfraz
3. Kamran

Obviously there is a wide disparity in the number of games played but I was quite surprised that Kamran is slightly ahead here ( or you could say there isn't a huge amount between them)

I said wicket keeping ( Never mind Captaincy and batting ) .... so try again.

LOL at bringing in Nidhas trophy ... Really ??

Specialist wicketkeepers don’t deserve to play 10 tests , let alone 100.

He has won as many trophies as your country, an amazing cricketer.
