Ent — Dhoni's reunion with Chennai Super Kings has sparked new life into his batting

#3 Captaincy responsibility

Dhoni is captaining the team almost after 2 years — Dhoni is captaining the team almost after two years

In IPL 2017, Rising Pune Supergiants had made a big announcement, when they chose Steve Smith as a captain of the team instead of Dhoni.

After the removal of captaincy, former Indian captain never looked in the zone and struggled in batting. CSK came back after serving two years of suspension, and it was a no-brainer that Thalaiva will be their leader.

Dhoni has looked in a completely different zone after donning the captaincy of CSK. He has scored 286 runs in 8 matches at an amazing strike rate of nearly 170. The added responsibility of captaincy has instilled new life into his batting.
