The match winner’s experience of understanding the game helps them to understand what is good for the team. “He has such a keen understanding of the game. Always sends us feedback. His experience, eight out of ten times, works for us. If he says 265 is a good score on a pitch, we don’t aim for 300 and end up scoring 230. He’s a legend for us and hopefully will continue” Kohli said. With Dhoni is the team the middle order gets the support of a senior player which is beneficial for the team.
