Dhoni calls for more runs from lower order
MS Dhoni believes India have a stable top order that could last them through the 2017 Champions Trophy and into the 2019 World Cup, though he did not mention if he considered himself among the batting core that would last the next four years."If you look at the top four or five batsmen, it seems that if they are fit and are in decently good form they are the ones who may go into the next World Cup or the Champions Trophy," Dhoni said.
Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma have accumulated 1932 runs from 41 innings - the second-best among openers in the last five years, and their average of 48.30 is the highest among the top 10. The last time Virat Kohli failed to amass 1000 runs in a calendar year was in 2010 - when he missed out by five runs. Ajinkya Rahane might need to work on rotation of strike but he remains a sturdy option in the middle order, while Suresh Raina's utility as a limited-overs player is more than handy.
