The World No 1s quest for a record-breaking eighth world snooker title was shattered by Stuart Bingham in the quarter-finals at Sheffield's Crucible Theatre this week
Former India captain Sourav Ganguly insisted that Mahendra Singh Dhoni should stick to batting at No 4 which will enable him and Virat Kohli could play the finishers' role.
"Let him play at number four. He will finish from there," Ganguly said.
"If you are seen as a finisher, it does not mean you have to bat from the 40th over. Virat (Kohli) bats at three and he is finishing games. It's a wrong concept that a finisher has to come lower down the order. Dhoni got India over the ropes in the other match batting at four," Ganguly said on Thursday.
On Wednesday, New Zealand defeated India by 19 runs while defending 260 in a match India's premier batsman got out for 45.
Ganguly, however, said India were not becoming too dependent on Kohli.
"He (Virat Kohli) is an excellent player, but I don't think the team is becoming too dependent on him. New Zealand is a good side. They will win some matches also," he said.
