Sending Dhoni at No.7 a team decision: Shastri
India head coach Ravi Shastri revealed that sending MS Dhoni to bat at No. 7 in their 18-run World Cup semifinal loss to New Zealand was a team decision. Chasing a total of 239, India lost four top order batsmen for just 24 runs inside 10 overs. But Dhoni was sent in to bat after Dinesh Karthik who came in at No. 5 followed by Hardik Pandya, raising quite a few eyebrows.
