Where should Mahendra Singh Dhoni bat in the batting order?

Question

What number should he come in at? He came in at 7 yesterday which proved to be a big mistake.

Answer 1

no. 5

Answer 2

There cannot be any fixed batting order for ODI as the batting order has to be adjusted depending upon the situation of the game.  There was nothing wrong in his coming after the fall of Rohit Sharma as the partnership between Rohit Sharma and Yuvaraj Singh kept India's hopes live.  However, the course of the match was changed after the fall of Rohit Sharma and Yuvaraj Singh's wicket in quick succession..

Answer 3

i thnk he should come before raina

Answer 4

Wherever he darn well likes, he's the captain.

Answer 5

well it pretty evident, he never comes in at a crisis, like if india is at 30 runs for 3 wickets, dravid was always the man who came in at a crisis.

He never comes in when the ball is still swinging, or moving sideays, or if a vary fast bowler is still bowling. He only comes in when india is about to lose, and when there a spinner, so he can blame other batsmen for the team losing.

Answer 6

Just before Irfan Pathan.
