Ranking India's best wicket-keeping options ahead of the 2019 World Cup

#1 MS Dhoni

MS Dhoni has for long been India's mainstay in the Indian cricket team, especially in ODIs and T20Is.

Batting

Pending his inability to score runs, MS Dhoni was under severe scrutiny for the whole of 2018. Many fans and cricket pundits even sidelined him for the 2019 World Cup as he failed to score a single 50 plus score in the whole of 2018.

However, as Ricky Ponting once rightly said, "Things can turn around in this game pretty quickly, and one thing I've learned in this game with champion players is to never write them off. They always find a way to keep coming back".

MS Dhoni managed to make a strong a comeback in the year 2019 as he kicked off the year in style by hitting three consecutive fifties against Australia. Going by his recent form with the bat, Dhoni is one of the key batsmen for India ahead of the 2019 World Cup.

Wicket-keeping

When it comes to wicket-keeping, MS Dhoni is by far the best bet in the world. His timing and reflexes are something that remains unmatched. Unsurprisingly, MS also holds the record of fastest ever stumping (0.08 seconds) in the history of international cricket. However, one more thing for which Dhoni needs to be appreciated is his catching skills behind the stumps.

Final Verdict

Thus, owing to his current form with the bat and his extraordinary wicket-keeping skills, MS Dhoni happens to be the best choice for India ahead of the nearing quadrennial event - 2019 World Cup.
