Not now.He is more useful at 5 or 6.
However he can be used as a surprise in No 3 in a match or two.

No, As Dhoni can't play with new ball I think.
If he comes in the middle order he gets in a good form.
The run rate will increase but maybe in 3 overs itself Dhoni may get out if he comes in the opening.
Dhoni is a very good batting at spinners and medium pace bowlers.
So it is better that Dhoni enters in the middle order and not in the strike or running.

Dhoni would perform well if he comes in as the 4th batsman rather than 2nd because he can hit boundries comfortably only at 4th position.....It would be hard for him to play with the new ball...We have our Master Blaster and Dada to open or Sehwag to open...So I think Dhoni will perform well at 4th position...

He requires some more batting experience to face new ball at speed of 160 km/hr.

This might be there in the mind of team management. But It will be executed only at super 8 stage for the sake of secret

no.. he cant open the inn because we have lot of openers in our team(ganguly,shewag,uthappa,karthick.tendulkar) but we have few middle order batsman... we need dhoni to rise the run rate at the end of the innings.

i think no...i don think he can play the new ball as he plays the old one.and one more thing is if he is sent in the middle order then there might be some chances of increasing the run rate

OK its good idea but ,if all the good bats man play first then at last run rate decreases

hmm, he should be a middle-order batsman.. i don't think the new ball will be to his advantage!
