5 possible reasons behind MS Dhoni's struggles with the bat lately

#4 Premeditated batting

Off late, Dhoni has been seen trying too many premeditated shots

Sometimes, it is important for a batsmen to premeditate what the bowler would dish out to him, or what shots he would play. At the same time, it is also very important that, one must have confidence on his instincts as well.

Off late, one can easily make out that Dhoni makes up his mind on how he is going play a delivery even before the ball has left the bowler's hand. A lot of times, he defends a poor delivery and tries to attack a good delivery bowled by the bowler. More often that not, it has been the cause of his dismissals. He preempts too much nowadays, which is not yielding the desired results.
