IPL 2018: 4 Reasons why MS Dhoni is so successful in this season

#1 Worked on his weakness

Dhoni had issues with short deliveries and wide outside off stump

There was a chink in the armour in Dhoni's batting style as it hampered his ability to finish games for India. He was not at his best, and there were concerns over his batting strike rate.

The main reason behind his downfall was the inability to rotate strike at the start of the inning, and using up too many dot balls. In the death overs, fast bowlers would bowl wide outside off stump or cramp him up with short deliveries.

Dhoni has worked on his weakness and has looked in great touch. His strike rotation has improved significantly and played well against the pace bowlers. He normally shuffles before the bowler bowls which helps him to play deliveries wide outside off stump.

The shot against Mohammed Siraj's wide yorker fetched him six runs was a great example that he has finally overcome his weakness.

He is finishing matches at will and proved why he is rated as one of the best finishers in the game.
