Ms Dhoni Admits Batting Lower Hampered His Game
“I am happy to score runs. I wanted to do this (play an innings like that) for a long time. I could express myself today. It doesn’t happen at number five or six. Batting lower is hampering my batting to a certain extent,” said Dhoni after scoring a crucial 80-run knock in the third ODI.

It was his first half century in 11 innings. Dhoni promoted himself ahead of Manish Pandey after batting at five in the earlier games. The move paid off as he paced his innings well and shared a match winning 151 run stand with Virat Kohli.

The skipper explained why he made the call of batting higher up the order.
