Recently, the former Delhi batter has come up with an unexpected and ‘one of its own kind’ statement on the batting technique of former Indian skipper and current Chennai skipper, MS Dhoni.
“When it comes to IPL, no one bats better in the nets than MS Dhoni,” said Gambhir while talking about MSD’s batting technique in the Indian T20 League.
Although these comments from Gautam Gambhir drew a lot of various kinds of reactions on the micro-blogging site Twitter. It didn’t go down well with a few of the fans; whereas, some of the fans also came up with a sarcastic response to Gambhir’s remarks.

Earlier, almost two years back, Gautam Gambhir had also talked about the batting order of MS Dhoni while batting for Chennai in the Indian T20 League.
“MS was a player who would’ve actually batted at number 4 or 5 but we’ve seen in the first leg that he normally bats at number 6 or 7,” said Gautam Gambhir in a show of Star Sports.
“MS Dhoni is probably trying to be a mentor and a wicketkeeper, who can lead the side and keep wickets. If the situation comes to a point where he probably has to play 8 or 10 balls, he can just go out there and whack them,” he added later.
Later on, the 41-year-old also mentioned the difference between playing franchise leagues along with international cricket with playing these leagues after retiring from international cricket.
“It’s going to be difficult for him because once you are not playing international cricket, the IPL is a challenging tournament, it’s not like CPL and other leagues. IPL is where you face top-quality bowlers,” said Gambhir.
