India v Sri Lanka - ICC Champions Trophy
MSD

India's middle-order is not looking steady without Virat Kohli. MS Dhoni is the most experienced batsman in the squad and he needs to bat at the number four position. As a matter of fact, Dhoni came to bat at the number four slot against Bangladesh and he scored 33 runs with a good strike rate.

Dhoni has an amazing track record at the number four position. His batting average is over 50 at the number four slot and he played the memorable World Cup final knock at the number four position. He can guide the Indian innings in the middle overs and he is also adept of finishing the match. Hence, if Dhoni plays more balls then it will be difficult for the Pakistani bowlers.
