2. Constant struggles with the bat:
Dhoni’s indifferent show with the bat has been on display for quite some time now. In 2016, he managed to score only 278 runs in 13 matches at a modest average of 27.80 and a strike-rate of a shade over 80.
His performance in the recently concluded Indian Premier League, where he managed 290 runs in 16 matches, was enough to prove that he is well past his prime.
