Former Indian team cricketer, Gautam Gambhir is of the opinion that Dhoni should bat at No.3 in the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) tournament for his team Chennai Super Kings (CSK).
“It will be a good opportunity for MS Dhoni to come and bat at No. 3,” Gambhir said on Star Sports’ show ‘Cricket Connected’.
The remark came from the former opener after Suresh Raina pulled out of the tournament citing ‘personal reasons’.
“He has always said he wanted to bat at No. 3, No. 4. This is an ideal time as well. And he has been away from the game for the last one year, so he would end up getting a lot more balls to face and then he can actually play the anchor innings as well which he has been doing for India for the last couple of years,” he added.
“So, MS Dhoni at No. 3 and then they have got depth with Kedar Jadhav, Dwayne Bravo, Sam Curran, all those guys they can come in.
“So, I think it is going to be a great opportunity for someone like MS Dhoni and I am sure he is going to relish that. Also, Suresh Raina not being there, you want to have some experienced player batting at No. 3, so it could be MS Dhoni now,” he augmented.
