#1 The search for a premium death bowler ends

If finding a seam-bowling all-rounder was Dhoni's biggest headache in Tests, unearthing a death bowler in limited-overs cricket was a similar cause of concern for him in coloured clothing, for a large part of his captaincy tenure.
However, towards the end of his reign, he seemed to have finally found someone who would stem the run flow and also pick up wickets at the end of an innings.
Jasprit Bumrah's pace, coupled with his awkward action, has made him an absolute nightmare to play at the end of an innings and both Dhoni and Kohli must be thanking the gods for listening to their plea to get such a specialist bowler.
With a lot of limited-overs cricket coming up, Bumrah's role will be key in ensuring his side do not leak too many runs in the final overs.
