“Brothers, tell him. DHONI is far ahead of RIZWAN. Even if you ask Rizwan, he will give you an honest answer. I like Rizwan; he is a good player who always plays with intent, but this comparison is wrong. DHONI is No 1 even today in world cricket. None better than him behind stumps,” he wrote on X.
