Mark Boucher was a one of greatest wicket keeper batsman and also one of good finisher at that time where even 40-50 runs value is like 100 runs. We all talk about MS Dhoni, Adam Gilchrist or Kumar Sangakara who are best wicket keeper but Mark Boucher also one of them in that era who played many match winning innings at lower order which helped South Africa to Victory from no where. Most of time his batting not come and when it comes need most of time more then run a ball but he is such a fine stroke maker somehow manage to scoring runs easily. He did many records in international cricket as wicket keeper which mentioned below.
