Surrounded by controversies, fans were astonished yet delighted when former Indian cricketer Gautam Gambhir and MS Dhoni were captured on camera speaking with one other on March 31, 2022. The two players have had a cold war on a few occasions, with Gambhir openly criticizing Dhoni. Things between the two players deteriorated when Gambhir was removed as a vice captain in 2012. Both players have represented India on numerous occasions and have contributed their fair share of effort to victories.
Former CSK captain Dhoni and current mentor for LSG Gambhir chatted with each other for a while after Lucknow Super Giants won the match on Thursday at Mumbai’s Brabourne Stadium by 6 wickets. The pictures quickly went viral on the internet and cricket fans were overjoyed to see these two veteran players together after such a long time.
Gambhir even took to his official Instagram account to upload a photo with Captain Cool, captioning it “it was nice catching up skipper.” Their friendship had its ups and downs, but things may have worked out for both players after being together and playing under the flag.
In a recent interview with Jatin Sapru, Gambir expressed his admiration for Dhoni, saying, “I have a massive respect for Dhoni, he has done so much for the national team, and if he ever needs anyone in life during difficult times, I will be the first person to stand by his side because of his contribution to our Indian cricket team.”
CSK is the defending champions, while LSG, who had Gambhir as their mentor, performed admirably in their first encounter with CSK. The season promises to be exciting as more twists and turns will be introduced on the pitch.
