Is Dhoni a better batsman than Sangakkara?
While Dhoni may have a much better average, Sangakkara has a lot more runs. Also, the fact that comes in to bat late in the game means that he ends up with more not-outs under his name than the Sri Lankan did – which, in turn, helped the former India captain have a better average.
Is Dhoni better than Sri Lanka’s Sri Lankan Tendulkar?
The fact that Dhoni has more not-outs than his Sri Lankan counterpart despite playing fewer innings, proves that he could endure a lot of pressure that came whilst chasing a total. This is where Dhoni is unprecedentedly better than the former Sri Lankan batsman. Just look at that average, not-outs and the strike-rate.
How good is MS Dhoni as a chaser?
Once again leaving out the not-out factor, the former Sri Lanka captain averages 33.54 runs-per-innings, which is still higher than Dhoni’s 33.38 run-per-chases. However, Dhoni’s ability to stay along while chasing is commendable; even if we consider Dhoni’s lower-middle-order position.
