Australia cricketer Ben Dunk believes former India captain MS Dhoni is “probably the number one wicketkeeper-batsman” the world cricket has even seen.
“I think MS Dhoni is probably the number one wicketkeeper-batsman that we have ever seen. The way that he has played over a long period of time is amazing. His legacy and record and everything speak for himself,” Dunk, who has performed 5 T20Is for Australia, stated.

“He has got ice that runs through his veins, he takes the game to a place where it’s almost unwinnable and seems to somehow win them all the time. If I could play 5 or 10 per cent as good as MS, I would be very happy,” he added.

Dunk, who will flip up for Qalandars within the Abu Dhabi T10 match starting Thursday, stated he’s trying ahead to enjoying with former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi.
“Shahid Afridi is an amazing cricketer and he’ll have an amazing legacy. I have grown up watching Shahid Afridi. He just keeps going and going. And he’s still playing cricket as well as he ever has. I am really looking forward to him. I have watched him for a long period, so I am looking forward to seeing him up close and watch how he goes about it,” stated the 33-year-old.
Dunk added that he was additionally trying ahead to enjoying with English gamers Chris Jordan and Tom Banton.
“Chris Jordan is a wonderful bowler, who has played all over the world and he has taken the most wickets in T20Is for England so I am looking forward to playing with him. Tom Banton is a young guy, who is making his mark on the game. We have got a host of players, who have performed well in T20 cricket,” stated Dunk.
