6 things we miss about MS Dhoni

India v Sri Lanka - ICC Champions Trophy

#2 Promotion up the order

<p>

India now has the most settled top 3 and the world's best batman at number 3. Slow run rate is never a problem but there were times when India used to manage scores mostly between 250 and 300. Thus, the team management used to shuffle the batting order to bring power hitters up the order.

One such case was promotion of Dhoni to number 3 and the effect in those matches was quite evident. Dhoni played two of his most memorable innings of 148 vs Pakistan and 183* vs Sri Lanka batting at number 3.
