#4 Promoting Dhoni at number 4 and getting in 3 seamers

Dhoni's batting position has been a matter of debate in the recent past. The 37-year-old has, for the most part of his career, played as a finisher. However, in the past few years, Dhoni has found it difficult to get going right from the word go.
Thus, there have been talks about sending him to bat at number 4, giving him more time to use the long handle. The likes of Rohit Sharma have also endorsed the idea of Dhoni batting at number four.
Team India might make this choice in case the bowlers are out of form. Moreover, pitches in England are likely to be batting paradise and thus the team management might want to play with 3 fast bowlers.
Bumrah, Bhuvi and Shami bowling in tandem will be a treat to watch for Indian fans.
Combination 4: Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan, Virat Kohli (C), MS Dhoni (WK), Kedar Jadhav, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohd Shami, Jasprit Bumrah
