Although Dhoni has been in a team with other wicketkeepers, he has always been preferred above all of them. Hence, it is of no surprise that he would keep wickets in this team.

Dhoni has played with good all-rounders such as Watson, Flintoff and Jacob Oram among others. However, Bravo's transition as an excellent death bowler happened under Dhoni's leadership.

Bravo at No.7 is an asset for any team as he can also win matches with his bat on his day. Hence, Bravo beats the other all-rounders to make it to this eleven.

Spinners: Anil Kumble and Muttiah Muralitharan

MS Dhoni can consider himself lucky to have played with the best spinners in the history of cricket. While he played under Kumble's captaincy for India, Muralitharan was a regular in his CSK squad.

This experience has, in turn, helped him in becoming a good wicketkeeper against spinners such as Ashwin and Kuldeep Yadav.

It was Dhoni who started the trend of using spinners to contain runs in IPL and this has transformed the way spinners are bowling now.
