MS Dhoni- The answer to India's number 4 batting slot

#4 Ability to deal with pressure situations

Dhoni's calming influence can stabilize the middle order woes

After the World Cup 2015, India has been performing consistently, and the key to their success is the way the top three batsmen have performed. They have scored the majority of runs, but as soon as these batsmen get dismissed cheaply, the batting looks very fragile.

The pressure comes on to the middle order, and more often than not they have failed to deliver. Also, Dhoni coming at number five or six in this situation does not help the cause. By the time he comes in to bat, there is hardly anyone left to support him.

If Dhoni bats at No.4, whenever the top order crumbles, he could be the perfect batsmen for controlling the early damage to a certain extent. When it comes to pressure situations, none other than Dhoni could deliver it, with the prime example being his match-winning knock in World Cup 2011 Final.

Though Dhoni batted at number 5, the way he built crucial partnerships with Gautam Gambhir and Yuvraj Singh illustrates that it could more than handy for the team if he bats more in the top four.
