India's assistant coach Sanjay Bangar today came to the defence of the under-fire Mahendra Singh Dhoni, saying losing wickets at regular intervals did not allow the veteran campaigner to play freely in the second ODI at Lord's.Former skipper Dhoni took a lot of flak after an uncharacteristic slow innings at Lord's, where he was even jeered while scoring 37 off 59 balls. After skipper Virat Kohli and leg spinner Yuzvendra Chahal, Bangar backed Dhoni.
The series is locked at 1-1 after India won by eight wickets in Nottingham, while England won by 86 runs at Lord's."Going forward, there are still 16 to 17 games to go, we're looking at the games remaining wherein we could look at settling the middle order slots. I am pretty sure that things are fluid at the moment. It's not that a guy is only going to bat at a particular number," he added.KL Rahul failed at get going in the second ODI and India might be forced to have a rethink about their middle order for this finale.
