Virat Kohli-led India might have made a brilliant start to the year after registering a memorable win over England in the first match of the ongoing ODI series but the same can’t be said about Mahendra Singh Dhoni.

The 35-year-old, who recently stepped down from the limited-overs captaincy, has been going through a lean phase with the bat for quite some time now. In the last year, he managed one 50-plus score as he hit only 278 runs in 13 outings and the poor form continued in the first match against England too. On a pitch that was anything less than a batting paradise, he could manage only six runs.
