“He needs to have the confidence to go and play like that in the One Day Internationals and I think the big stage is something he is looking forward to,” the 45-year-old added.
Dhoni’s numbers with the bat has not been good in the recent past and this has prompted plenty of debates and deliberations overs his position in the side. Despite India’s dominance in ODI cricket, there is a huge concern as far as the middle-order is concerned and this is where Dhoni has struggled.
In 10 innings this year, MS Dhoni, has laboured to 225 runs at a strike rate of 67.36.
