‘Because of captaincy, he couldn’t…: Gautam Gambhir’s big statement on MS Dhoni – Times of India

NEW DELHI: The only captain to win three ICC trophies for India -- World T20 (2007), the ODI World Cup (2011) and the Champions Trophy (2012) -- MS Dhoni had a remarkable international career that spanned close to 15 years. To go with that, 10,773 ODI runs and 1617 runs in T20Is as Dhoni was a force to reckon with in India's lower middle order. However, former India opener Gautam Gambhir feels that the legend could have achieved a lot more with the bat but sacrificed his personal runs for team's cause and trophies. After the initial phase of his career, Dhoni played at No.3 for some time but then he brought himself down the order to be the finisher for the team. “Earlier, they were wicketkeeper-batters who were keepers first and then batters, but MS was batter first and then a keeper.

Gautam Gambhir praises Dhoni: ‘MS Dhoni sacrificed his international runs so that team can win trophies’

For a while now, it’s been perceived in the social media that Gautam Gambhir has some gripe against MS Dhoni. It pops up every time Gambhir says something about the 2011 world cup – how all the attention has gone on one man (read MS Dhoni), and the contributions of the likes of Yuvraj Singh has gone unnoticed. He would also say in the past how the captain is as good as the team of players. Despite the fact that he has reiterated it many times even during his successful reign as captain for KKR in the IPL, the interpretation has been that he is having a go at MS Dhoni. Now, Gambhir has come out with a comment naming Dhoni and how it was a “blessing” to have Dhoni in the team. “MS (Dhoni) was the first wicketkeeper of India who could change the game with his batting. Earlier, they were ke...

Asia Cup 2023, BAN vs SL: Dasun Shanaka’s men win with MS Dhoni’s personnel

It is a scene that played out repeatedly during the Indian Premier League, of two special young Sri Lankan bowlers playing a stellar role in Chennai Super Kings’ march to the title. Even the conditions at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium at times resembled what Maheesh Theekshana and Matheesha Pathirana had encountered at Chepauk in April and May, wearing the famous yellow jersey. For a Sri Lanka team ravaged by injuries ahead of the Asia Cup, the duo provided the lift they desperately sought in their bowling, as they set up a comfortable five-wicket win over Bangladesh on Thursday. This win should serve a reminder, rather a warning, to the rest that in these slow conditions, overcoming the hosts, though depleted by the absence of four first-choice players, won’t be an easy t...
