Only ahead of Dhoni, Mark Boucher and Adam Gilchrist.
Formerly former explosive batsman Virender Sehwag has also raised questions on the role of Mahendra Singh Dhoni's team. Although it was believed that Captain Virat Kohli relied heavily on Dhani. Often Dhoni has been seen decorating the fielding himself while behind the wicket. Virat Kohli always takes advice from Dhoni while taking decisions in the field. During the one-day matches it was seen that Virat Kohli himself was standing outside the circle of 30 yards and Dhoni was more active in taking the decision by talking to the bowlers on the field. Dhoni now comes in sixth and seventh place to bat. He himself also believes in giving new generation generation of opportunities to play ahead of him.
