Mahendra Singh Dhoni, the legendary Indian cricketer, is back in the spotlight after saving the day and leading India to victory in the Asia Cup final match versus Bangladesh. Dhoni's recent triumph may have gone a long way toward quelling the doubters and detractors who have doubted el Capitano's ability as a cricketer in the past four years of his profession, but a comprehensive study on ImpactIndex claims that Dhoni isn't getting the credit he deserves.

Below are the reasons that support Mahendra Singh Dhoni's claim to be India's best batsman and wicket-keeper of all time.

We've never had a better skipper.

Dhoni has a record of success in all formats of cricket that no other skipper has matched. His captaincy has won two global titles in 50 overs ODI cricket and one world championship in T20 cricket, in addition to two Champions League and Indian premier league crowns in each format. If that isn't enough, keep in mind that it was through Dhoni's leadership that we rose to the top of the ICC Test Cricket rankings.

He manages to achieve all of this while also being a capable wicketkeeper.

He is not just the skipper of the globe's most cricket-obsessed nation, but also a major batter and wicketkeeper, the latter of which is a physically demanding and energy-draining position.

He is India's most important one-day international player.

Mahendra Singh Dhoni is India's highest high-impact ODI cricketer, accompanied by Sachin Tendulkar and Kapil Dev. MS Dhoni highest scores in one-day international matches is 183 runs. He ranks behind Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli as batsmen. His diverse skill set, though, makes him the most influential player of the bunch.

He was the one who came up with the helicopter shot.

There was almost no way to smash a yorker for a six before Dhoni's time. That is, till the helicopter shot was played by him.

Dhoni is India's most dependable batter, with a batting failure percentage of 39%.

Dhoni has had to perform in a variety of high-pressure scenarios as a middle-order batsman. He seemed to have done a good job, based on his batting average.

He has had the ninth-highest influence in One-Day International history.

Mahendra Singh Dhoni has a minimum of eight series-defining achievements behind him, including those by Adam Gilchrist, Viv Richards, Andrew Flinton, and Imran Khan.

He's also the fourth most influential player in Twenty20 history.

Mahendra Singh Dhoni is well known as an ODI batter, but his T20 record is far less remarkable. However, because he is balancing three tasks, he is among the most reliable performers in the world, with an 11 per cent rate of failure.

MSD is capable of taking on a lot of responsibility.

Mahendra Singh Dhoni has been the most overloaded cricket player in the game's history. Given his position as a wicketkeeper and the reality that our cricketing schedule is busier than ever, Dhoni's constancy must be commended. If somebody is going to assess Dhoni's batsmanship, they must do so after contemplating these facts. Mahendra Singh Dhoni is a physical energy storage unit.

He is the captain at all times.

Mahendra Singh Dhoni is always the skipper, regardless of the version of cricket he is participating in. He has not just captained the most successful T20 team in history, but he has also dealt with all of the mental pressures that come with becoming a skipper, whether it was during his less than ten-year test career or his more productive ODI career in the world's most cricket-crazed country in the globe.
