Would Dhoni have given strike to Dhoni?
After the much talked about T20 between England and India ended with the hosts' win, questions are still being asked about MS Dhoni's tactics to not give Ambati Rayudu any strike in the last over

After the much talked about T20 between England and India ended with the hosts' win, questions are still being asked about MS Dhoni's tactics to not give Ambati Rayudu any strike in the last over. For the Indian Express, Daksh Panwar writes that it was an issue bigger than the denied singles.
The thing is, there is no denying that the current India captain is a great leader, in that he leads from the front. But is he a great leader of men? The only way to test that is with a hypothetical question. Had this brooding, grey-haired Dhoni and his younger, long-maned self found themselves in a similar situation to yesterday's game, would current-day captain Dhoni have given the free-spirited slugger Dhoni the strike?
