India vs New Zealand 2017: 5 Indian players to watch out for

#1 MS Dhoni

Dhoni's role needs to be assigned

The man for all ages and seasons, MS Dhoni has been in good form in the recent past, but he will be well aware of the expectations on him every time he walks onto the field.

He has tweaked around his technique to adapt to the demands but this has not altered his rock-solid temperament and he remains the rock in the lower middle-order.

However, he is past his big-hitting prime and hence needs time to settle down before unleashing his strokes. Thus, his position in the batting lineup is crucial and the team management needs to assign a definite role to the former captain.
