New Delhi, Aug 31: Mahendra Singh Dhoni should be batting at number three for Chennai Super Kings now that Suresh Raina has pulled out of the Indian Premier League (IPL), feels former India opener Gautam Gambhir.
Raina pulled out of the IPL due to "personal reasons" and Gambhir thinks that Dhoni, who has been away from the game for over a year, should try and play as many balls as possible.
" title="Chennai Super Kings' Suresh Raina to miss entire IPL 2020, returns home for personal reasons"It will be a good opportunity for MS Dhoni to come and bat at No. 3," Gambhir said on Star Sports' show 'Cricket Connected'.
"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," the two-time IPL-winning skipper said.
Gambhir said that Dhoni can come at one down as there are batsmen who can play the finishing game.
"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 added.
