Player: | MS Dhoni, AC Gilchrist |
Event: | Australia in India 2009/10 |
DateLine: 27th October 2009
Former Australian wicket-keeper and batsman Adam Gilchrist favoured the idea of Indian skipper MS Dhoni batting higher up the order, which will enable him to play as many overs as possible.
 
"He's (Dhoni) such a danger to play against. I would like to see him bat up the order especially in the abbreviated version of the game. You want your best batsmen to face as many deliveries as possible," said Gilchrist, who was in Mumbai as the brand ambassador of University of Wollongong, Australia. 
"He has a lot on his plate, I understand that. But I would encourage him to bat higher in the order," Gilchrist said. "Dhoni paces his innings well. But its his decision," he added. 
Gilchrist said missing speedsters Brett Lee, Mitchell Johnson and all-rounder James Hopes, who have been ruled out of the second ODI due to injuries, was a huge blow for the Aussies.LATEST SCORES
