MS Dhoni is the greatest finisher of all time, asserts Mike Hussey

A batsman with a rigid technique and unmatched grit, Mike Hussey was widely regarded to be one of the greatest batsmen of his generation and many believe that the Australian would have been higher up in the pecking order had he debuted early. One of the USP’s about his game was his ice-cold persona with the bat, the ability to thrive under pressure, but according to Hussey himself, there is no batsman in the world who can handle pressure like Dhoni. 

"Dhoni can keep his cool and make the opposition captain blink first. Dhoni also has unbelievable power. He knows that when he needs to clear the ropes, he can do it. He has that kind of self-belief. Honestly, I didn't have that kind of belief in myself," he added.

"I tried not to let it reach 12 or 13 runs an over. And I learnt this from MS Dhoni. He is incredible. He believes that he who panics last wins the game. So Dhoni would keep his cool, and keep it longer because the pressure is on the bowler as well. They (great players) don't hang on to a defeat for too long. If they lose, they move on quickly. They don't let a loss or a win hamper their thinking. They are always consistent, and level headed whether it's MS Dhoni or Ricky Ponting."
