Bravo will be Dhoni's go-to man this year

Dhoni will continue batting at number 5 or he may bat at number 4 if the team has a solid foundation. Dhoni's position would depend more on the number of overs that are remaining.

Bravo was the hero for the Chennai Super Kings in the first match and one can expect Bravo to bat at number 6 ahead of Ravindra Jadeja against KKR. Bravo's main job however would be to bowl well in the death overs.

Jadeja had a horrible game at the Wankhede and many were questioning his presence in the side. The next match will be played in Chennai and Dhoni would look to have three spinners in his side and therefore Jadeja will be a definite pick for the next game.
