New Delhi: Legendary Australian wicketkeeper-batsman Adam Gilchrist on Thursday picked former India skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni as his successor in the world's best stumpers' list.

"Dhoni, the way he has carried every role that he has under his job description. A wicketkeeper, batsman, captain every thing. He is a brand and he has carried all these things with amazing success," Gilchrist said at the Royal Stag Barrel Select Perfect Strokes event here.

The 45-year-old left hand batsman also picked the innings that he played in the 2007 World Cup final as his perfect performance. Gilchrist slammed 149 runs in 104 balls in the final match against Sri Lanka, which Australia won by 53 runs via Duckworth Lewis method.

"My perfect innings would be the final of the World Cup 2007. And all top athletes know that we build up so much for the big events and it does not always go perfectly," Gilchrist said.
