Former cricketer Aakash Chopra discussed Dhoni’s T20 strategy. Despite calls to bat higher, Dhoni often chooses No. 7 or 8.

Chopra said Dhoni is honest about his game. Despite suggestions, Dhoni knows he can’t bat for long and stays clear-minded.

“I have not seen anyone with quicker hands than MS Dhoni. If the ball goes to him, you are out 9.5 times out of 10. I don’t know how he does it. The hand doesn’t go back at all. He is lightning quick with gloves.”
