Alex Carey wants to emulate MS Dhoni

Regarded as one of the best finishers in the world, MS Dhoni is an inspiration for young players eyeing the role of a finisher for their team. Alex Carey's hard-hitting capability was on display during the World Cup and during the Big Bash League. Alex Carey seeks inspiration from the likes of MS Dhoni and  Jos Buttler, to be able to finish off the game for his side. Alex Carey went on to state that the team's top-order was filled with batsmen who could light up the ground and said that if they failed to do so, then there were a lot of opportunities for the middle-order batsmen like himself to be able to seal the deal for his side.
