DC vs CSK Live in IPL 2021 Qualifier 1: Gambhir to Dhoni, ‘play Robin Uthappa in place of Suresh Raina’- Former India cricketer and two-time IPL champion with KKR, Gautam Gambhir has a piece of advice for MS Dhoni’s CSK ahead of their IPL 2021 Qualifier match against Delhi Capitals.

  • Robin Uthappa has failed to impress in two outings with scores of 19 & 2. CSK lost both these matches.
  • Suresh Raina, on the other hand, has had a dismal form in the UAE leg of IPL 2021. He has managed just 37 runs in five appearances with a high score of unbeaten 17.
  • CSK’s middle-order remains a big concern ahead of Qualifier 1. They are coming on the back of straight losses in the last 3 matches.
  • The yellow army has failed to win the last four matches against Delhi Capitals. They will look to end their jinx on Sunday by marching into the playoffs in their bid for the 4th IPL trophy.
  • Robin Uthappa/ Suresh Raina need to play crucial innings if CSK wants to enter the finals.

Gambhir also felt that CSK should keep an over of Josh Hazlewood spare for the death overs. The reaction comes after CSK lost the last three matches defending.

“They need someone in the death otherwise they become one-dimensional. They should keep one over of Josh Hazlewood against Delhi Capitals batting which has Axar Patel and R Ashwin batting at No.6 & 7,” he signed off.
