The key difference between these two players was that Brian Lara was able to hit across the line, with a completely horizontal bat, due to his great eye. Pure talent, in the vein of Viv Richards and AB de Villiers.

in actual batting, Lara.

Dhoni however is higher among finishers than Lara is among 1-3 bats, but he opens in my ATG ODI XI anyway.

Did he hit the deck harder?

Nope, he hit completely across the line, with pure reflexes and handeye coordination.
