MS Dhoni, who had a bad time with the bat in 2018 was criticised severely for the same. Mahi played 20 matches in 2018 and could only score 275 runs with an average of 25. His highest score back then was 42 runs. In 2019 MS Dhoni has played 8 games and has managed to amass 301 runs with the highest score of 87 runs not out.
