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.

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.Dhoni was dismissed for three runs in CSK’s first match upon resumption of the season after which he was unbeaten on 11 as CSK beat Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) by six wickets on Friday. He has managed just 51 runs thus far in the season.”Your No.3 and No.4 will not always score runs. You need to bat a little more. The more runs you score, it will keep getting easier,” he added.”You will qualify for the playoffs but it should not happen that the responsibility falls on you, you lose early wickets and you have to come and score runs,” Gambhir signed off.Click here for our site’s complete coverage of the coronavirus pandemic.
