Dhoni, at max, is a highly popular cricketer with decent batting skills, good wicket keeping skills and a great captaincy skill. As a batsman , if Sachin is 100 then Dhoni would be 30-40. Dhoni may feature in the top 100 batsmen list and he could be in the 80s may be. I guess that should put things in perspective for you. 👍

One aspect you guys may not have noticed is that: both Vivian Richards and Donald Bradman, who faced bowlers who have clocked the highest ever recorded speeds in cricket, never wore helmets. This makes their achievement so much more special. Todays batsmen can't imagine facing 150 kph bowlers with their heads exposed.

Bradman was 5 foot 8 inches tall and thin. He was not only the most successful batsman of all time, he has also been acclaimed as the most successful sportsman of all time. This is because his record is so much more ahead of his rivals than any other sportsperson in any other sport.

[@vibhanshuagarwal2000]

This is an excellent list. Don Bradman played on arguably more lively pitches(i.e. more bounce and swing) since much less cricket was played in those days, and they didn't trim the grass. Also, there were outstanding and quick fast bowlers in his time, although the technology to measure speed needed to be more accurate and the camera technology required to be up to scratch. The bats in that era were nothing compared to modern bats, either. Then he also made runs quicker than the batters of his time and averaged the double of most great players in his time and since. In terms of facing the most hostile bowling, batters like Sunil Gavaskar, Javed Miandad and Viv Richards probably faced the most hostile bowling of all(the 70s-80s). Though Don would have aced any conditions and bowling attack. On the difference in playing conditions, some players question Dhyanchand (who is considered the greatest hockey player by Indians), that his records wouldn't be what it is today because he played on grass which was a lot slower than today's astroturf, which enabled him to dribble the ball a lot more. But that is a different sport, and I don't want to get into that debate either.

Dhoni has some abilities for which there is no metric or Objective rating mechanism, e.g. How do you measure the ability to use brain, strategy and planning? Remember in 2007 T20 final with Pak, he sat right behind the stumps to guide the bowlers. There is sadly no mechanism for measuring these but the viewers know what sets him apart.

Sangakara and Ponting will remain the best Captains of all time. Obviously Ganguly too

Check out the body line series to understand Don Brahman. List is pretty accurate. Would have put a few different folks at the lower half but a good list nonetheless
