From lighting fast stumpings to taking almost accurate DRS - Mahendra Singh Dhoni cannot go wrong when it comes to wicketkeeping, and surely, the former India captain has proved the same on multiple occasions.
So when Kapil Dev was asked to pick his 'Kapil XI team,' there is no doubt that the World Cup winner picked the other trophy winner as a keeper.
In a recent interaction with Bollywood actress Neha Dhupia on her 'No Filter Neha' Saavn original podcast, Kapil Dev picked Dhoni as the player whose spot no one can take.
On asked to name his team, Kapil Dev said: "There’s a Test match is different, there's a one day cricket is different. ODI…if I have to pick, I would say definitely Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag, Virat Kohli, will be there, Rahul Dravid will be there, Yuvraj will be there.
"Wicket Keeper is only Dhoni. Nobody can touch his spot," the former India captain added.
"You have Zaheer Khan, you have Sreenath. Recently Bhumrah, I can say. He's done extremely well. Anil Kumble, all-time great spinner, and Harbhajan. These are the cricketers who come to my mind very much there," he added.
Kapil Dev and MS Dhoni are only the two Indian captains who have led India to World Cup victories so far. India had won the 1983 ODI World Cup under Kapil Dev and years later MS Dhoni-led India to the T20I World Cup win in 2007 and followed it up with the 2011 ODI World Cup win as well.
As for the wicketkeeper, MS Dhoni, who retired from international cricket, had announced in Chennai Super Kings' (CSK) last IPL game this season that he would return in the Indian Premier League (IPL) next year as it is only five months away.
