A host of former cricketers have slammed Dhoni for his batting. 

The clash between Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals, wasn't particularly impressed with MS Dhoni's approach when the team was chasing a target in excess of 200. One of them is Virender Sehwag. He also went on to comment on some of the decisions he took as a captain, that were objectionable. Speaking to Cricbuzz, Sehwag said: 'The three sixes that MS Dhoni hit in the last over made it feel like CSK came close to the target, but the reality was something different.  

'I feel Dhoni could've batted higher up or even sent Ravindra Jadeja to bat after Sam Curran got out. The run-rate slowed down in the middle overs.   In the middle, it looked like Dhoni wasn't even trying to chase the target considering the number of dot balls he played. If that hadn't happened and about 20-22 runs were required to win in the last over, the three sixes that Dhoni hit would've made people say 'wow, what a finish',' the 41-year-old added. The number of balls Jadhav played, had Dhoni been the one facing them, CSK wouldn't have finished with the deficit of 17-18 runs that they did,' he further explained. 'If over 30 runs are required, those three sixes wouldn't make a difference. I think Dhoni could've batted over Kedar Jadhav at least. 

'Even while CSK were fielding, Dhoni's captaincy had some strange decisions. This shows that Dhoni should've made these changes earlier,' the former India opener opined. 'Dhoni then brought Lungi Ngidi who dismissed Samson a then Chawla was brought back into the attack. In his final two overs, Chawla only conceded 8 runs.  If I have to rate Dhoni's captaincy today, I will probably give him a four out of ten,' Sehwag asserted. 'He had two 'glitches' in his captaincy against RR. First in terms of making spinners bowl to Samson and second in terms of his batting position.
