Mahi Dhonis current form and his performance in the death overs is making think twice about his performance.
Known as the best finisher in the limited-overs format, Dhoni faced 85 balls and scored just 69 runs in the first 5 days against SA.
He batted at number six and seven in the series. Coming out in Dhoni’s support, Suresh Raina, who has been included in India squad for the T20Is against South Africa, said the former India skipper should bat up the order. “I feel Dhoni can do better up the order. He can hit better and get more time,” Raina told Sports Tak.
Dhoni has batted at No. 2, 3 and 4 on 45 occasions and scored 2321 runs at an average of 64.47.
He has scored three centuries and 18 half-centuries while batting at these positions.
Mahi has batted at No. 5 on 68 occasions, scoring 2718 runs at an average of 53.29. He has 4 centuries and 15 fifties to his name while batting at No. 5.
MS is the kind of player who if he plays up the order will always keep the team in a strong position,” Raina said.
