Gautam Gambhir will not play in Friday's match against Chennai Super Kings at the Feroz Shah Kotla, Eric Simons, the assistant coach of Delhi Daredevils, has said. Gambhir pulled a hamstring during Wednesday's defeat to Mumbai Indians and was forced off the field within the first 10 minutes of the match. In his place the vice-captain Dinesh Karthik has been elevated to the lead the side
Gambhir joins a long injury list that includes Graeme Smith, Dimitri Mascarenhas, Ashish Nehra, Charl Langeveldt and MS Dhoni - all within one week of the IPL. Yusuf Pathan recovered from a shoulder issue and Virat Kohli survived a dodgy fall while bowling. However, most injuries - Gambhir's the notable exception - have been the sort that cannot be avoided on the field, as Lalit Modi, the IPL Commissioner, stressed on Thursday
Dhoni was hit on the arm by a rising delivery from Shane Bond during Chennai's innings but continued batting, scoring an unbeaten 66 off 33 balls to lead his team to a match-winning 164. He kept wickets as well during Kolkata's unsuccessful chase but was seen wearing an ice pack during the post-match presentation ceremony.
"Dhoni has been advised rest for a few days. The physio will assess him again on March 21 in Chennai and take a call on his return," a team official confirmed
