Mahendra Singh Dhoni shouldn’t bat lower than number 5, feels Ajit Agarkar

Former India pacer Ajit Agarkar has joined the list of cricket experts, calling for Chennai Super Kings (CSK) skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni not to bat lower than number 5.
The 13th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) has not been good for the men-inyellow so far as the team is placed on the bottom of the points table with just 6 points from 10 games. In the ongoing season, Dhoni has not stuck to any particular position and has moved up and down the order.
“In my opinion, MS Dhoni shouldn't be batting lower than number5. It will obviously depend on what the situation is, but the lowest, he should go is number 5. He is arguably one of the greatest cricketing brains to ever play the game. He can see things and access situations which other players can't and you can see, as the tournament progresses, his form's getting better as well. So, he shouldn't be batting lower than number 5 for me,” Agarkar said on Star Sports' #FanWeek.
On Monday, CSK suffered a seven-wicket defeat at the hands of Rajasthan Royals.
Agarkar also expressed his disappointment at Dinesh Karthik’s decision of handing over the captaincy of Kolkata Knight Riders' (KKR) to Eoin Morgan.
“I don't think replacing Dinesh Karthik after seven games when you're sitting fourth in the table is the right move in my opinion. It does add to the disruption of the team and you could see the way they performed against Mumbai Indians, even though it was a tough game.”
“I don't think it was the right move. You make plans with a certain captain through the course of the year and in spite of sitting fourth on the table, it was a very strange move for me,” the former Mumbai pacer said.
