#1 MS Dhoni
Without a doubt, the best batsman to come out at No.4 for India in the Asia Cup is MS Dhoni. In these five years had if Dhoni had come in at the position then we wouldn't have been talking about this topic now.
Dhoni averages 82.75 and 55.91 at No.3 and No.4 respectively. But still, Dhoni has batted only 16 times at No.3 and only 27 times at No.4 in his long 321 ODI matches career.
Whenever he has come out at No.4, Dhoni had amassed 1230 runs with one hundred and eleven fifties. His strike rate is 94.28 which is much better than the 83.28 when he comes in at No.6.
So every stats and every voice has been saying that Dhoni should be India's No.4. These days while batting he takes time to settle. So No.4 is the perfect position for him where he will get the time to settle and finish the game.
