He shows up no matter what life throws at him is why
He performs and falls back to the grind is why
Consistency follows him everywhere is why
He is Rutu is why 🦁🔥

Should Dhoni bat up in the order? No. Should Dhoni come up when the 4th wicket is lost in the last five overs? Yes.
It has more to do with his entry point than the batting spot.
But yes, seeing him come out to bat after Ashwin was disappointing, irrespective of whatever logic I apply.
Now bigger picture, how long will it take for fans to understand Dhoni isn't going to bat in the middle-order? It's been 3 years now. He has assigned himself a role and he will stick to it, batting mainly in the last 5 overs. We have picked players for middle overs, if they aren't doing their job and winning you the game, don't put it on Dhoni. His prime days are gone. I don't expect him to wicket-keep for 20 overs and then come and bat for 10 overs. You have to play at least 14 matches in this league. Also, now he can't construct the innings for you and then finish. Stop looking back at prime Dhoni to set your expectations. He needs a platform now. If Dhoni fails to finish, it will then be on him. He will have to take blame. But not for this garbage entire batting order's failure. There are so many issues with CSK, and Dhoni not coming to bat up isn't the primary one. I can understand with others entirely putting the loss on Dhoni's batting spot for fun, but fans not seeing this is funny.
