MS Dhoni is considered the best wicketkeeper in world cricket at present. The former Indian captain is known for his quick reflexes behind the stumps and great unorthodox thinking. However, one of the greatest wicketkeepers of all time Adam Gilchrist does not rate MS Dhoni as the best in world right now.

The Australian has said that he reckons England's Sarah Taylor to be the best wicketkeeper in the world currently. Gilchrist has said that England women's team captain and wicketkeeper Sarah Taylor is the best in the world across formats and genders. 

Gilchrist was responding to a question during a Test Match Special interview. He said that Taylor's work up to the stumps which has regularly been world-class.

Taylor is known for her superb leg-side stumpings and very fast reflexes behind the stumps. 

"I tweeted, no longer than a week ago, that she is the best wicketkeeper in the world at the moment - male or female," Gilchrist said. "She's done some work over the years in the Big Bash in Australia and with social media now you can see these little snippets.

"It's a pretty bold statement, because there are a lot of fine wicketkeepers around - Alyssa Healy is another from the women's game, just so skilful with soft hands effecting these leg-side stumpings.

"[They] spend so much time up to the stumps with a little less pace on the ball in the women's game [and are] so skilful, I've seen a lot and a couple in the internationals over the last week or two have been brilliant pieces of work."
