The Indian batting legend seems to be a perfect fit at number 6 position. Though his performances in the last couple of series made him a subject of mass criticism, one simply can't deny the fact that Dhoni is still the best when it comes to chasing mammoth totals when the team is under humongous pressure.

Dhoni's invaluable experience and knowledge will surely help India in getting an edge over the rivals in crunch situations.
