Mahendra Singh Dhoni is known as one of the world's best finisher in limited over cricket. But the skipper's inability to go for the big shots during the final stage of the first One-Day against South Africa Raised Questions whether the Mr Cool captain is still India's best finisher in ODIs.
At a time when Dhoni is facing Criticism here comes big relief from none other than Indian Cricket Legend Sunil Gavaskar. Gavaskar said it would be wrong to blame Dhoni for the team's debacle in First ODI and also felt that Dhoni is still world's best finisher in limited over cricket.
"Dhoni is still India's No. 1 finisher. As you are getting older your powers get less. That is the case with every profession and not just in sports. Indian captain is being made as scapegoat and it is not right," Gavaskar told adding that if there is one area where the Indian team has to improve, it is the bowling.
