MS Dhoni just executes well – Usman Khawaja

Meanwhile, the opening batsman of Australia Usman Khawaja showered words of praise on MS Dhoni. He quoted that Dhoni got the great skills of executing the plans as planned. He believes it is something, where experience will help a lot to the player.

Further, he went on to add saying that the wicketkeeper-batsman has achieved a lot of victories in that fashion for India, which is a tough thing to do so. Khawaja also explained the change of gears that the former Indian skipper takes during the chase.

“He (Dhoni) just executes well. He has the last three games, just stayed calm and backed himself to take it deep. Then when he needs to he hits a boundary. You can tell he sort of changes gears, he’ll hit single, single, two then try to hit a boundary,” Khawaja was quoted as saying by cricket.com.au.

”It doesn’t always come off but the majority of times it does. He does that really well, that’s experience,” he added
