When the time comes, he will be made to bat longer but for now we want him to come for 2-3 overs and play such impactful innings.” Fleming believes that, Dhoni is doing a fantastic job as a finisher and instead of asking him to bat up top, other batsmen should take more responsibility of creating the platform for him.

He is doing it every time at the moment, which is great to see and what an amazing thing. We are so proud of him when he goes out to the crease and entertain and we are amazed by the love he gets.”

He is now 42 years old, and is still doing so. Maybe he is thinking from the team’s perspective.
