As always, an episode involving MS Dhoni and Gautam Gambhir took the social media by storm this Thursday (March 31), with the former India teammates seen having a long chat with each other following the night’s IPL 2022 encounter.
Usually, the Dhoni-Gambhir dual is in news for controversial reasons, with the latter historically being critical of some of the former’s decision-making and ways on the field.
But this time, it was all too heartening, as they were seen sharing a lengthy conversation as former Chennai Super Kings (CSK) skipper and current Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) team mentor.
After the LSG-CSK game played at the Brabourne Stadium ended in a defeat for CSK, Gambhir made a point to go up to MS Dhoni and talk to his former skipper about life and on-field happenings, helping clear doubts that there exists no rift between them.
MS Dhoni and Gautam Gambhir had a lengthy chat after IPL 2022 match between CSK and LSG.
The moment LSG inched past CSK’s daunting 210/7 on a flat surface at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai, the two teams started congratulating each other for a game well fought. In that, Gambhir and MS Dhoni also came face-to-face and patted on each other’s back.
Moments later, Gambhir was seen having a long chat with his ex India skipper on the sidelines. A picture of the same went viral on social media and got fans excited and nostalgic, and also relieved that it is all hunky-dory between the two giants of Indian cricket.
Gambhir later went to Instagram and posted a picture of the moment himself.

An outspoken but honest personality, Gambhir’s alleged indifference or rift with MS Dhoni has been the talk of the town for a long time now. While some feel that the player feels aggrieved at not been given adequate credit for his contribution to the 2011 World Cup final win, some say that he feels angst at Dhoni for his removal from the team in the aftermath of the disastrous ‘8-0’ back in 2011-12.
But there has never been any respect lost between the two. In his capacity as a broadcaster or expert after retiring, Gambhir has been critical of Dhoni’s performances or decision-making from time to time. However, that hasn’t diminished the relationship between the duo that gave their best together for the Indian team.
