The Men in Blue have opted to rest Dhoni for the five-match ODI series against the Caribbean team, to ensure he is fully rejuvenated for the Australian clash.
Sammy said that Dhoni, who bats in lower-middle order, has been a great finisher for India and they won’t be the same without him.
“There is no doubt (that India will miss Dhoni)...looking at the one-day series against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 (both away and in India), Dhoni contributed a lot at his position. Basically, he finishes the game for India all the time,” said the
West Indian skipper.

on their mind and that is to win.

international reckoning. I'm given a chance [in the playing XI] I won't let anyone down and I am very keen to impress my team-mates, the coach and the selectors.”
