Gautam Gambhir says “It will be difficult for MS Dhoni to score freely for CSK” in the Indian Premier League. Gambhir has said that Chennai Super Kings captain MS Dhoni could struggle to score quickly in Indian Premier League 2021. As he has retired from international cricket.
Last year, MS Dhoni announced his retirement from international cricket. Also, after more than a year away from the arena. Since the bat hasn’t done much talking. MS Dhoni has averaged 21.5 with the bat, striking at a strike rate of 117. Dhoni has batted much lower in the order but with little success. Gautam Gambhir is one of the supporters of India’s 2011 World Cup final triumph alongside MS Dhoni.

“MS Dhoni was a player who would’ve actually batted at number 4 or 5, but we’ve seen in the first leg that he normally bats at number 6 or 7. There are times when he’s actually pushed Sam Curran before him as well,” Gautam Gambhir said.
The importance of facing top-quality bowling in international cricket. It is the two-time Indian Premier League winning captain also said.
“It’s going to be difficult for him because once you are not playing international cricket, IPL is a very difficult tournament; it’s not like CPL and other leagues. IPL is where you face top-quality bowlers. For me. I think the biggest challenge for CSK will be that the top-order needs to fire because that’s not the case anymore,” Gambhir said.

Chennai Super Kings has enough firepower in their batting unit. Ruturaj Gaikwad and Faf du Plessis have got the team off to a good start. Also, Moeen Ali and Suresh Raina. They take care of the middle order, whereas Ravindra Jadeja has successfully slipped into the finisher’s role. It was only MS Dhoni.
