Former India cricketer Dodda Ganesh questioned DC's strategy against CSK, asking, "How can this be a serious cricket team?" He stressed that DC have ample batting talent and can open the innings with Prithvi Shaw/Nitish Rana/Abishek Porel alongside KL Rahul, with Miller in the middle order. "Instead, the geniuses play Pathum Nissanka at the top and drop Miller," he added.
