Gautam Gambhir Says Dhoni Is Not Aggressive: Kolkata Knight Riders mentor Gautam Gambhir is famous for throwing digs at Chennai Super Kings star MS Dhoni on multiple occasions. Gambhir, who also had a riotous relationship with Virat Kohli, spoke to Star Sports before their clash at Chepauk.
Gambhir Calls Dhoni the Greatest Captain India Will Ever Have
Despite admitting their rivalry on and off the pitch, Gambhir said that there is mutual respect between the two. Surprisingly, Gambhir called MS Dhoni the greatest captain India will ever have.
“Despite our rivalry on the field, off the field, we are friends with a lot of mutual respect. When Dhoni and I face each other as captains of CSK and KKR, winning is the sole focus. I want to win for my team, and Dhoni undoubtedly feels the same given his competitive spirit that has made him the most successful captain India will ever have.” stated Gambhir on Star Sports.
Gautam Gambhir Says Dhoni Is Not Aggressive
Though Gambhir said MS Dhoni isn’t that aggressive on the field, he applauded CSK’s, particularly Dhoni’s, never-give-up attitude.
“Even if Chennai needed 20 runs in an over and MS Dhoni was batting, he could still finish off the game. I knew I had the bowling attack to challenge anyone in the Super Kings lineup. Tactically, I had to outmaneuver Dhoni at every turn because, although he is not overtly aggressive on the field, he never gives up. Chennai is the kind of team that battles until the very last ball is bowled—you know you haven’t beaten them until the game is truly over.”
