Former South Africa cricketer has ended a debate. “Who is the all-time greatest finisher in cricket”? The question keeps on coming every now and then with three names – AB de Villiers, MS Dhoni, and Michael Bevan – often being given as the options.

However, the man himself, ABD, seemed to have answered the question on his comparison with MS Dhoni in the GOAT finisher discourse.
AB de Villiers rates MS Dhoni higher than himself
Speaking on his YouTube channel, the South African legend addressed an analogy that has the cricketing world comparing the two modern-day greats.
While you would have often heard people sharing their preferences on it, an opinion this time has come straight from the horse’s mouth as de Villiers himself called Dhoni the best finisher ever.
“I see always a big debate going on between who is the best finisher between me & Dhoni, we can settle it now. I will say MS Dhoni is the best finisher ever,” de Villiers said as quoted on his YouTube channel.

When will MS Dhoni be next seen in action?
While ABD has retired from international cricket and the IPL, Dhoni still features in India’s premier domestic tournament. In the last season of the league, he captained Chennai Super Kings to a record-equalling fifth IPL trophy.
Going by his own words, we are likely to see him in yellow jersey in 2024 as well. At present, he is in the midst of rehabilitation after a knee surgery that he underwent in June.
