England captain Jos Buttler recently participated in a blind ranking challenge—tasked to place five renowned wicketkeepers without seeing the full list. His results raised eyebrows:

Rishabh Pant took the top spot with Quinton de Kock following at No. 2. AB de Villiers was placed third, Buttler admitted, “I messed this up,” when assigning his slot. MS Dhoni, despite his legendary status, was ranked only fourth and Buttler humbly ranked himself at No. 5.

Reflecting on Dhoni, Buttler shared his deep admiration: “MS is quite an amazing cricketer. I love the way he leaves people guessing; he doesn’t ride on emotions and always seems one step ahead.” He also cherished receiving Dhoni's IPL jersey during the 2020 season.

Buttler’s surprising placement of Dhoni sparked debate across cricketing circles, highlighting both Pant’s recent rise and the legacy of Dhoni’s game-changing presence.
