Defending champions India would have won its first two games of the T20 World Cup comfortably, but skipper M S Dhoni's poor form is worrying the team ahead of its Super 8 games.  

Dhoni, who promoted himself at number three position in the batting line-up for the group matches against relatively weaker sides Bangladesh and Ireland, could score 26 and 14 runs respectively.   

The skipper's dismal show at the one down position is also likely to hamper team's batting as in-form Suresh Raina, whom Dhoni replaced at number three, has to come down in the order giving him lesser time to garner runs.

In the recently concluded second edition of Indian Premier League, Raina, who batted at number three position, was among the leading run scorers.
