MS Dhoni of lately has not been in the best of batting form. He struggled in the IPL scoring just 284 runs in 14 matches with a solitary half century in the last match for Rising Pune Supergiants against Kings XI Punjab.

His strike rate of 135.23 was also modest considering IPL standards, which was boosted by his last match-winning knock of 64. Dhoni has also copped a lot of criticism for batting down the order at no 6 or 7 in international cricket.

This tour will give an incentive to Dhoni in order to push himself up the order at no 4 or 5 considering the inexperienced batting order. Dhoni will be the senior most player in the batting line up consisting of Karun Nair, Kedar Jadhav, Ambati Rayudu and Faiz Fazal.

This tour might just see Dhoni batting freely without any inhibitions and at his attacking best considering the mediocre Zimbabwe bowling attack. An in form Dhoni will surely boost Team India.
