Before the Kolkata-Chennai match, Dhoni is the one in Gambhir's mind, what does KKR's mentor say!
According to the IPL schedule, Kolkata Knight Riders will play against Chennai Super Kings on Monday in Chennai. And just before that match there is a story about Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Gautam Gambhir .
And wait for just a few hours, where Kolkata and Chennai are coming to play. The new match between KKR and Chennai Super Kings is starting. There we can see that Kolkata Knight Riders are going to play against Chennai Super Kings in Chennai field. Gautam Gambhir with Mahendra Singh Dhoni has a different story to tell and playing against him comes to mind all the time but even then both in different roles. Where it appears that Mahendra Singh Dhoni has left the captaincy and is playing only as a cricketer. Gautam Gambhir is KKR's mentor. But what else can be done, still that Dhoni has come to Gambhir's mind.
Gautam Gambhir talks about his fight with Dhoni during his time as KKR captain in the broadcasting channel which shows us a completely different place in their relationship. Not only that, he said many things in that interview. He said that "I wanted to win. My plan was clear. Friendship, respect will be there. But when I step on the field, I am the captain of KKR and Dhoni is from Chennai. If you ask Dhoni, he would probably give the same answer. Because he is India's most successful captain with three ICC trophies. Won. Nobody could do that."
From Gautam Gambhir's mouth a lot is known in the interview, it is known that he used to have a battle of wits with Dhoni in IPL. Not only that, many praises are known about Dhoni. We have come to know a lot about the success of Mahendra Singh Dhoni. In his words, "Dhoni's brain is very strong. So I enjoyed fighting him. His planning was very good. The way he played spinners was difficult for other captains. Dhoni's fielding arrangements were completely different from others."
Gautam Gambhir's words are clear that he valued Mahendra Singh Dhoni a lot. The KKR mentor said, "We knew Dhani could win the match wherever he came to bat at 6, 7, 8. Even if we needed 20 runs in the last over, Dhani would have won the game. So I loved playing against him. Dhoni might not have been as aggressive as me." But he wouldn't give up so the fight would get tougher."
It has been seen that Gautam Gambhir has made various comments about Dhani in the past. When the year was 2011, India won the World Cup. There too the question of Dhoni's importance behind winning the World Cup was raised and that question was raised by Gautam Gambhir. To him, the game is played by everyone in the World Cup behind which every participating player is important, but why only Mahendra Singh Dhoni is given more importance there or why is there so much discussion about his achievement and why is it spreading on social media? And that question was raised by Gautam Gambhir.
According to Gautam Gambhir, not only Mahendra Singh Dhoni's role was behind this 2011 World Cup win, Yuvraj Singh, Zaheer Khan also played a bigger role than that. But the question is why they don't talk there and that is what Gautam Gambhir wants to convey through this question. He remembered all these things at the same time when KKR was playing against Chennai Super Kings in the Indian Ideal League of 2024. But here he did not raise any criticism or question, he raised the issue of their fight. Means he recalled his fight with the KKR mentor and he also revealed that Gautam Gambhir prefers to fight on equal footing.
