Former Australian wicket-keeper batsman Adam Gilchrist is in favour of Indian skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni batting higher up the order, enabling him play as many overs as possible. "He's (Dhoni) such a danger to play against. I would like to see him bat up the order especially in the abbreviated version of the game. You want your best batsmen to face as many deliveries as possible," Gilchrist told reporters on Tuesday.

"He has a lot on his plate, I understand that. But I would encourage him to bat higher in the order," Gilchrist said, adding, "Dhoni paces his innings well. But it is his decision."
