[Saba Sports News] South Africa legendary cricketer AB de Villiers, regarded as one of the most lethal batters, opened up on a debate about who’s the better finisher between him and the former India captain MS Dhoni.
De Villiers settled this discourse on his YouTube channel. He jokingly said, “obviously me” when asked who is the better finisher, but later clarified, “I see always a big debate going on between who is the best finisher between me & Dhoni, we can settle it now. I will say MS Dhoni is the best finisher ever. I’m very happy to give credit where it’s due.”
“For CSK in the T20s and IPL and for India in all formats of the game – just a fantastic person, just a fantastic man. A great role model for all cricket players around the world,” added de Villiers.
Moreover, former South Africa cricketer also revealed that the World Cup-winning six of 2011 by Dhoni at Wankhede is etched in his memory forever.
“I love watching him play. The things he has pulled off in the past… I think of that 2011 World Cup – hitting that straight six to win the World Cup.
“That will be engraved in my mind forever. MS has done it so many times in all formats of the game.”
On 19th November 2021, Mr. 360° announced his retirement from all forms of cricket. He played his last international match, which was a Test against Australia in March 2018.
