The fans around the world are used to this sight of Dhoni removing the straps of the gloves to tighten the grip. This practice may have been followed by the former Indian skipper to ensure that the bat does not slip from his hand. And after almost 13 years in international cricket, it has become a habit for M. S. Dhoni.
Dhoni has led India to wins in the 2007 World T 20 in South Africa, 2011 World Cup triumph in the subcontinent and the Champions Trophy victory in England in 2017. Dhoni is the most successful wicket-keeper to have played for India in all the three formats.
