4. Using too many grafters around Dhoni
MS Dhoni is well past his prime now with the bat in hand. However, his mere presence on the field as a captain and strategist is enough for his team. But when it comes to finishing the matches, MS Dhoni is just a shadow of the past.
In 2021, MSD scored runs at a strike rate of just 106.54. MS now would require some strikers around him so that he can take his time in the middle. So, if the team is crowded with too many grafters around MSD, they would lose their way. Thus, they have to set their batting order in such a way that MS doesn’t feel the pressure of scoring too quickly.
