T20 is about flexibility so it shouldn't be surprising if players are shuffled around in batting .... I would be more surprised if a team stuck to a fixed batting order in T20

what surprised was Dhoni's choices in some of the games like pushing himself up when he is not batting that well and then Jadeja to number 4 .... while dangerous player like YP hardly got a chance to play himself in and bat the other team out of the game

second, the playing 11 was not always spot on in my opinion

third, in the game against Eng, he took far too many singles when boundaries were the order of the hour. he should have asked YP to take over or done it himself in the last two overs and treat them as super overs rather than 'rotating' the strikes which not only wasted the ball but also pushed up the rate. it would have been better if Ind had been bundled out for 130 in going for the win in a KO game
