Dhana Dhan Dhoni is in news again. He reminded us of the young and captain Dhoni.Dhoni may not be the Dhoni of eight years back, but he is still the most experienced player in the Indian side, and how they use him will be critical. Virat Kohli should be very happy to have him in the side.
“I think he needs to play a few balls before settling down. If he can bat up in the order, at No 4 maybe, it will give him time to settle. At the end of the innings he is absolutely lethal against any bowling,” Kapil told media.
Dhoni hammered five sixes, four of which came against Mumbai Indians’ death-overs specialists Jasprit Bumrah and Mitchell McClenaghan.
“It was important for them to know that he is still the ‘king of the ground’,” said Kapil, highlighting the relevance of Dhoni’s heroics on Tuesday.If Dhoni is promoted to No 4, then Yuvraj Singh will have to drop a place down.
India will begin the defence of their Champions Trophy title with a high-pressure clash against Pakistan on June 4. India have a better head-to-head record against Pakistan in ICC tournaments over the past decade.
They have got the better of their opponents 11 times in ODIs and T20 format. Pakistan though has a slight edge in the ICC Champions Trophy with two wins and one loss against India.
