Dhoni redefined the art of wicketkeeping - Cricket news

The Hindu  

That’s how I would like to define Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s entry into international cricket. As I look back, I think that Dhoni — the ’keeper — has redefined the art of wicketkeeping to a great extent. Before he came in, the craft hadn’t evolved much and most of the wicketkeepers would follow the good old methods and training. So, when Dhoni came in, there was an initial competition for sure, but within a year, I could realise that he was class apart!
