MS Dhoni the best finisher and captain I've ever come across: Faf du Plessis

Former Indian skipper MS Dhoni is widely regarded as one of the greatest wicketkeeper-batsmen of all time.

South African batsman Faf du Plessis, who is teammates with MS Dhoni in the Indian Premier League (IPL) recently heaped praise on the veteran Indian cricketer.
