Dhoni the rescuer

[Bumper]

I always believed Dhoni's form directly impacts our fortunes in ODI cricket. The below list of partnerships shows why. From cricinfo: The list below offers more proof - in any is still needed - on why India need Dhoni to be in excellent batting form during the World Cup. Three of the five best lower-middle-order pairs in the last two years have the meaty presence of Dhoni, as he combined with Yuvraj, Raina and Dravid to bail India out more than once. Best pairs between wickets 5 and 7 in ODIs since Jan 2005 (at least 5 innings) [code:200c6a37a2] Pair-------------Innings Runs Ave 100s/ 50s Hussey/ Lee----------6 220 73.33 1/ 0 Yuvraj/ Dhoni--------7 439 73.16 3/ 0 McCullum/ Oram-----6 335 67.00 2/ 0 Raina/ Dhoni---------7 324 64.80 1/ 1 Dravid/ Dhoni--------9 456 57.00 1/ 3 Hussey/ Symonds---12 560 56.00 2/ 4 Yousuf/ Razzaq------8 389 55.57 1/ 1 Clarke/ Hussey------21 886 55.37 2/ 3 Boucher/ Kallis-------5 267 53.40 1/ 1 Collingwood/ Jones--9 362 51.71 2/ 1 [/code:1:200c6a37a2]
