#3 MS Dhoni going hammer and tongs from the beginning

MS Dhoni has earned the reputation as one of the best finishers in the limited overs format, the world has ever seen. It is more due to his effective planning and the trust in his ability to take the game till the very end and then stroke balls for fun.
But in past few games, we have witnessed a different Dhoni who is not leaving any opportunity to muster runs even at the beginning. It is much evident that the ‘Captain cool’ realizes his limitations of not able to finish games with a similar ease as in the past.
Even in today’s game, he made his intentions very clear to go after the bowlers from the ball one. The skipper has been instrumental in executing the same as he takes the attack to the bowlers.
