‘Dhoni Is My Favourite Batting Partner’ – Gautam Gambhir
Gautam Gambhir stated that he always enjoy batting with MS Dhoni in white ball cricket.
Former Indian cricketer Gautam Gambhir revealed that, among his batting partnerships, MS Dhoni held a special place as his favourite during their playing days.
The duo’s memorable 109-run partnership in the 2011 World Cup played a crucial role in India clinching the title after nearly three decades, triumphing over Sri Lanka.
Here’s what Gautam Gambhir told Sportskeeda:
“My favourite cricketing partner was MS Dhoni. People think that my favourite partner was Virender Sehwag but I actually love playing more with Dhoni, especially in the white ball format.”
This revelation may surprise MS Dhoni fans, given that Gautam Gambhir, known for his candidness, has consistently emphasised that crediting MS Dhoni alone for India’s World Cup victory is unfair. Gambhir has always underscored the collective effort of all XI players on that historic day.
