Gautam Gambhir likes MS Dhoni’s Captaincy
Reportedly former india opener gautam gambhir has called ms dhoni a captain who was "lucky" as he had the best team in the world during his captaincy. The cricketer-turned-politician said that the credit for MS Dhoni's success as the Test captain should solely go to zaheer khan, who is the second-highest wicket-taker for india in the longest format after legendary kapil dev when it comes to pacers.
Meanwhile gautam gambhir added that ms dhoni was blessed to have zaheer khan, India's best world-class bowler, according to the former delhi batsman. Gambhir reckoned that former india captain sourav ganguly should be given credit for bringing a player like zaheer khan in the squad. gautam gambhir said on Star sports show 'Cricket Connected' "The reason dhoni became such a successful captain in test cricket is because of Zaheer Khan. He was a big blessing that dhoni got, for which credit goes to Ganguly. According to me Zaheer has been India’s best world-class bowler. dhoni has been a very lucky captain because he got an amazing team in every format".
Further, gautam gambhir said that captaining the 2011 World Cup-winning indian side for ms dhoni was not difficult as players like sachin tendulkar, virender sehwag, Munaf patel, yuvraj singh, Yusuf Pathan and virat kohli were there in the team. He again asserted his point that sourav ganguly had to build a team from the ashes while "lucky captain" ms dhoni got a readymade team served on his plate and thus won many trophies.
