Ideal middle order combination for India in Asia Cup 2018

At Number 5 - MS Dhoni

MS Dhoni himself has revealed in the past that he wants to play up the order but that was not possible due to various reasons under the regime of Virat Kohli. Rohit Sharma the skipper for current series previously opted to play MS up the order to give the legend enough time to settle down and anchor the innings as his finishing abilities have waned with time.

He averages 53.98 at the number 5 position. MS Dhoni would be the ideal candidate for team India at the position as he is a proven performer at that position and will be able to control the game from that spot. So it won't be a surprise if Dhoni walks in at the fall of the third wicket on 17th September or during the course of Asia Cup.
