IPL 2021: MS Dhoni should play at No.4 once CSK qualify for the playoffs, says Gautam Gambhir

IPL 2021: Gautam Gambhir said that MS Dhoni has to be playing in a position where he can get enough time to settle in as opposed to having to take on the responsibility of scoring as soon as he enters the field.

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) captain MS Dhoni should move himself to No.4 when the team qualify for the playoffs in the 2021 Indian Premier Leage, said former Kolkata Knight Riders skipper Gautam Gambhir. Gambhir said that Dhoni should be playing at that position regardless of whether CSK are chasing or defending a total.

"MS Dhoni should bat at No.4 once CSK qualifies for the playoffs, irrespective of whether you are chasing or batting first so that you are able to spend time in the middle. I will want to see that, hopefully it happens. The best thing about a captain is that it is his own wish, he can bat anywhere he wants," Gambhir said on Star Sports.
