The Finisher Combo
#5 Mahendra Singh Dhoni (Wicket-Keeper)
Dhoni’s decision to promote himself up the order proved to be quite fruitful and despite being 37 years of age, the wicket-keeper batsman is in the form of his life.
Popularly known to be the best finisher in the business, Dhoni has amassed 1487 runs from a total of 93 T20I games and most his innings have proven to be match winning. Moreover, his ability to keep the wicket and his suggestions to the bowlers make him the first choice of being a wicket keeper in this Subcontinent T20XI.
#6 Shoaib Malik (Captain)
Shoaib Malik is one of the very few cricketers who debuted in the 90’s era and are still seen in action. In this Subcontinent T20XI, Malik deserves a spot simply because of his excellent technique and ability to get boundaries on a regular basis.
Like Dhoni, Malik has also come of age but despite being of 36 years of age, he continues to be a force to reckon with in the middle order. Up till now, the middle order batsman has scored 2121 runs from 103 T20I games at an average of 32.14 with a strike rate of 122.89.
The combination of Dhoni and Malik are best suited to provide the finishing touches to the total put by the top-order.
