The biggest positive from this ODI series for Team India has to be the form of MS Dhoni. Before the series started there was a lot of talk surrounding MS and whether he should be in the team or not, but he has answered all his critics by playing some match-winning knocks.

Dhoni had a very poor 2018 where he scored just 275 runs at an average of 25. His form and strike-rate were dipping in recent times and with Rishabh Pant performing well in the test series, voices were heard that the youngster should be given a chance. However, Dhoni silenced all the voices by doing what he does best: finishing the match.

In 2018 MS couldn't score a single half-century but in 2019 he has started with three back to back half-centuries. He finished the games for India while chasing a target in both of the games that India won. Dhoni scored 193 runs in the three matches which is the second highest in the series behind Shaun Marsh.

MS Dhoni getting his form back and finishing games for India is a huge positive. MS brings the stability and calmness in the middle-order which is very important while chasing scores.
