Asia Cup 2018: 5 factors that can impact team India's performance

#4 The Swashbuckling Finisher

The Finisher

Aren't all cricketing fans glued to their seat when there is a nail-biting equation on the board, and then walks Mahinder Singh Dhoni finishing off things in style. India played Bangladesh in the Asia Cup Final at Mirpur in 2016, one cannot forget the humungous six from Dhoni's bat that cleared the stadium and punctured the spirit of the home crowd.

Such are the statements that Dhoni makes and especially on his day, he can take on any bowling attack at any venue. Dhoni in 2018 so far has had a slow start with 148 runs at an average of 37.00 playing only 6 innings. However, he holds an average of 64.61 against Sri Lanka, 55.91 against Pakistan and 51.67 against Bangladesh.

Dhoni batting anywhere between 4 down to 7 down carries an average of 50.58 (cumulative) which signifies his hold in the middle order to build the innings suiting the situation of the game at hand.

Nevertheless, remember that 100 runs 8th wicket stand between Dhoni and Bhuvaneshwar Kumar that sealed the win against Sri Lanka in Pallekele? Probably one of the highlights which proves how he simulates the game during practice sessions in the nets. Many are certainly hoping for another Nidahas thiller this Asia Cup expectantly painted by the Helicopter Shot Curator himself.

Maybe some stump mic entertainment could add as a bonus to the package.
