"He sacrificed his international runs for trophies" - Gautam Gambhir on MS Dhoni's career
Former India opener Gautam Gambhir reserved high praise for MS Dhoni, calling him a selfless captain. He opined that the wicketkeeper-batter sacrificed his own runs and prioritized leading the Men in Blue to momentous wins.
Speaking to Star Sports, Gambhir said:
"Because of captaincy, he (Dhoni) ocouldn’t achieve what he could have achieved as a batter. A lot of times as captain you have to keep team first. If MS was not captain, he could have batted at No 3. I am sure he could have broken several ODI records. He has won a lot of trophies, but individually he sacrificed his international runs for trophies"
Gambhir was part of India's World Cup-winning squads in 2007 and 2011, playing under Dhoni's leadership. Dhoni is the only captain to win all the ICC trophies in white-ball cricket.
