As Chennai Super Kings (CSK) prepare to take on Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024, fans will be watching the MS Dhoni vs Gautam Gambhir duel. Over the years, these two cricketing superstars have done wonders for their respective teams in the IPL. However, Gambhir and Dhoni clashed over different roles on Monday. While Dhoni remains one of CSK’s pillars as a player, Gambhir will be coaching KKR, a team he has led to two IPL titles.

Ahead of the IPL, Star Sports shared a video of Gambhir, in which he can be seen speaking highly of Dhoni, calling him the most successful captain India has ever had.

“I want to win. I know it in my heart. Friends, mutual respect and everything remains. But when you are in the middle, I am the captain of KKR and he is the captain of CSK. If you ask him, he might give ‘your The answer is the same. This is victory. Clearly, MS is the most successful captain India has ever had. I don’t think anyone can reach this level – winning 3 ICC trophies. ” Gambhir said.

Talking about his battle with Dhoni in the IPL, Gambhir said that he enjoyed playing against the CSK superstar due to his “tactical thinking”.

“But yes, in the IPL, I enjoyed every bit of it because I know MS has this tactical mindset. His tactics are brilliant. Knows how to control the spinners, how to set the field against them and never Give up. He bats at No. 6 or No. 7, and we know that until he’s there, he’s not going to finish the game.

Gambhir also praised Dhoni as a “finisher” who prompted him to come up with better plans to undo franchises like CSK.

“Even if they need 20 runs per over and MS is in the middle, he can finish that game. At the same time, I know I have the bowling attack to challenge anyone in the Super Kings. I know tactically I have to be good in every aspect Better than him because he’s not as aggressive out there, but he knows he’s not going to give up. Chennai is one of those teams where you know you’re not going to win until the last ball is bowled. ” Gambhir said.
