Former New Zealand cricketer Danny Morrison has picked his best batsman for the Indian national cricket team. The reputed commentator chose MS Dhoni over Rishabh Pant, Virat Kohli and the current team captain Rohit Sharma.

Danny Morrisson took part in a fun session with InsideSport. The former New Zealand cricketer was asked to choose between the two players, and the last man standing was the Indian National Cricket Team’s best batsman, according to him.

Dany Morrison was first asked to choose a player between Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill. The cricketer-turned-commentator did not take much time and opted for the current white-ball vice-captain of the Indian national cricket team over the explosive left-handed opener batsman.

After that, he was asked to choose between Shubman Gill and Sanju Samson. Morrison chose the keeper-batsman over Gill and also rated Samson better than KL Rahul. But according to him, Rishabh Pant is superior to the Rajasthan Royals captain as he chose the Delhi Capitals captain over the right-hander.

Danny Morrison was then asked to choose a player between Rishabh Pant and Shreyas Iyer. He went on to name keeper-batsman in the middle order and also chose Pant instead of Ruturaj Gaikwad, saying he loves left-handed batsmen.

But when it came time to choose one between Rishabh Pant and MS Dhoni, he immediately chose to name the former captain of the Indian national cricket team. He said if he did not name Dhoni, people would come looking for him.

After that, he was asked to choose between MS Dhoni and Rohit Sharma. It didn’t take long and he immediately named the wicketkeeper-batsman. In the end, it was a choice between Dhoni and Virat Kohli, which he said was a no-brainer, and went on to choose the former Chennai Super Kings captain.

MS Dhoni is one of the best players to have played for the Indian national cricket team. What he has done for the national team is something that no one has achieved. Under his leadership, the Men in Blue won all ICC tournaments associated with white ball and also became number one in Tests.

In terms of batting, MS Dhoni is considered the best finisher in the game of cricket. He played 90 Test matches, 350 One Day Internationals (ODIs) and 98 T20 Internationals. The wicketkeeper-batsman scored 4,876 runs in Test cricket, 10,773 runs in ODIs and 1,617 runs in T20. Apart from this, he has been amazing in IPL, amassing 5,243 runs in 264 matches.

MS Dhoni retired from international cricket in 2020 but has been in the Indian Premier League since then. The wicketkeeper-batsman, even in his 40s, is hitting big sixes like in his prime. There is no clarity about his future in the League. There have been several reports that he will decide on his future once the BCCI releases the retention policy for the mega auction.
