The Dhoni Dilemma - 3 reasons why he is still an asset in white ball cricket

2. Running between the wickets

England v India - 2nd Vitality International T20

One of the most important facets to batting in limited overs cricket is running between the 22 yards, especially in close and low scoring games. This is another area where Dhoni is still a force to reckon with.

Having lost the ability to strike big consistently like before, Dhoni knows the importance of rotating the strike and putting the player who can hit big back at the striking end.

On tricky batting surfaces, where boundaries are hard to come by, pinching sharp singles and more importantly converting the ones into twos can put the opposition under pressure. It can make them go into a dilemma whether to attack or defend.

In the middle overs, two of the fastest runners between the wickets in the world, captain Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni, can run helter skelter and keep the scoreboard ticking, which can also unsettle the rhythm of the bowlers.
