Best finisher in cricket
2. MS Dhoni (India)
Mahendra Singh Dhoni, popularly known as “Captain Cool,” is perhaps the most celebrated finisher in modern cricket. Known for his exceptional calmness and unique ability to analyze game situations, Dhoni often held his ground until the final overs, where he would unleash powerful shots to steer India to victory. His iconic 91* in the 2011 World Cup final against Sri Lanka helped India clinch the title, establishing Dhoni as a true legend.
With a remarkable record of remaining unbeaten 47 times in successful chases, Dhoni’s legacy as a finisher is unmatched. As a right-handed batter and wicket-keeper, Dhoni captained India from 2007 to 2017, leading the team to multiple ICC trophies, including the 2007 T20 World Cup, 2011 ODI World Cup, and 2013 Champions Trophy. He remains the only captain to win all three major ICC trophies, a feat that highlights his leadership and finishing capabilities. His unique ability to keep calm under pressure and deliver when it mattered most has cemented his place among the best finishers in cricket.
