MS Dhoni has arguably one of the best finishers as well as wicketkeeper batters that the world has ever seen. Often regarded by the name of ‘Captain Cool’, MS Dhoni has certainly brought a lot of glory to India and also was among the best captain in International Cricket. Throughout his tenure as the captain of the national side, India won the inaugural T20 World Cup in 2007 followed by winning the World Cup of ODIs in 2011 and the Champions Trophy in 2013.
The former India captain was known for his explosive batting style which eventually resulted in finishing the majority of the matches for India. The former Indian batter was among the few batters who looked comfortable against both spinners as well as fast bowlers. But there were instances where there were bowlers who got better of Dhoni throughout his career;
Jade Dernbach (3 Times)
Jade Dernbach can be regarded as a modern cricketer. Earrings in both ears along with tattoos covering both his arms and also words to follow up each delivery. The 37-year-old bowling -known for his toe-crushing Yorkers and then the bouncers as well as, most importantly his ability to touch 90mph.
Throughout his career with England’s national side, Dernbach dismissed Dhoni a maximum of 3 times.
Dwayne Bravo (2 Times)
Arguably one of the best T20 bowlers with various tricks up his sleeves, Dwayne Bravo was certainly the most reliable death bowler both for his national side as well as his franchise side. Bravo played a lot under MS Dhoni, playing for Chennai Super Kings. So, there is no guess that he would have spotted some areas where he can get the former India player dismissed. Hence, throughout his T20 career, Bravo dismissed Dhoni on two occasions.
Pat Cummins (2 Times)
Pat Cummins is among the best seam bowlers who are currently playing the longest format of the game. Cummins debuted in Test match cricket at the age of 18 but had to wait for six long years before eventually getting another chance. But since then there has been no looking back as he is currently the captain of the Australian Test side.
Cummins also throughout his career dismissed Dhoni on 2 occasions.
Trent Boult (1 Time)
Another great exponent of swing is Trent Boult. Boult eventually made a mark for himself with the new ball and made it swing both ways. He is a left-arm quick who presents a significant threat to batsmen around the world with an ability to move the ball both ways even in unresponsive conditions. Throughout his career, Boult dismissed Dhoni on a single occasion in T20Is.
Tim Bresnan (1 Time)
At the height of his powers, Tim Bresnan was famously known as England’s lucky charm, but it was in his beloved Yorkshire that he was most deeply treasured. Bresnan was handy with the bat as well as producing some crucial knock lower down the order. Throughout his career, Bresnan dismissed Dhoni on a single occasion.
