Its a SIX...straight into a billion hearts!!!!!

Dhoni is confidence personified. The kind of shots he plays speaks a lot about the man. These shots make every cricket coach and "cricket pandit" scratch their head with disbelief. He is fearless and has his own style. When in full flow, he is quite a sight.

I personally believe that the team is wasting his talent by pushing him down the order. Players like Dhoni (There are not many) are good because of their hand eye coordination and they like the ball to come on the bat, which happens at the beginning of the innings.

But, we do need a explosive player down the order. Virendra Sehwag has been picked for the Srilankan series. He, after getting dropped from the Indian Team had one good game against Haryana but he still made it to the side. That clearly gives a hint that selectors/team management wants Viru in the World Cup side. I do not question that thinking since even I believe that we need Virendra Sehwag in the WC team. With his current form and level of confidence, Sehwag should play lower down the order. He is very good against the spinners and he can be destructive in the slog overs.

Now with Sehwag possibly filling the position of a destructive player lower down the order, I think Dhoni should be sent on one-down position (It certainly does depend upon the situation though. If it is a slow track, if the ball is swinging around or if India has lost the opening wicket cheaply, then Dravid is certainly the man). That way, Dhoni will get more balls to set himself in and then start "his business". On his day (and on his kinda pitch), he can be rip apart any bowling attack and make any captain look towards the skies for ideas. We need big runs from Dhoni's bat to have a chance in the "Big Daddy" of all cricketing events.

Dhoni's shots may not come from any cricket manual, but they definitely come from the heart.....or I should say....a billion hearts.
