Yup. Although he is a batting allrounder, Dhoni has always used him as a bowling allrounder and thinks of him as a bowling allrounder as well.

Sri Lanka missing Mendis imo.
If I was the India think tank, I would get him to really focus and further develop his batting with bowling a sure second suit. I know what you saying mate, I recall the T20 World Cup in England Jadeja was pushed back a few years after that and now we are seeing him again. With the talent he has he/they must get it right this time, I can see this dude in the future Indian test 11 middle order.

#7 in India's ODI side has been a batsman's position for as long as I can remember anyway. I remember when Dravid used to keep wicket so Kaif could bat 7.

Yes, liking the composition of the team atm. Batting runs deep till10, all batsmen can bowl parttime, 3 pacers and 2 spinners. Looks a perfect balance to me.

Problem with dropping Raina is forcing the pace in the end overs of first innings. Dhoni, Jadeja, Ashwin and Irfan are not that dependable in forcing the pace while Raina always gets runs at a good pace (ie. when he gets runs
)I have to really question Dhoni's thinking there, You have to promote his Batting.
Sometimes I think Dhoni bowls Raina just to keep him in the team, because his batting is going bakwards.
Lovely shot by Ashwin!

Jadeja bowled fine in the match and has bowled really well in ODIs overall since his comeback (barring Game 1 against Australia which was more like a T20 anyway) and Raina has been very effective in ODIs throughout his career even in conditions that don't suit him much. Dhoni likes having the seven batsmen and making up the fifth bowler with a batting allrounder some part-timers; can't really argue with it much either.
