Former Indian opener Gautam Gambhir called Dhoni ‘lucky’ who got an amazing team in every format. Dhoni captained India to bring back home two ICC World cup titles, ICC Champions Trophy and number one ranking in Test Cricket
Giving credit for Dhoni’s success to Sourav Ganguly, Gambhir said that Dhoni reaped benefits of the current BCCI president’s hard work. Speaking on Star Sports Show Cricket Connected, Gambhir said, “Dhoni has been a very lucky captain because he got an amazing team in every format.”
“Captaining 2011 World Cup team was very easy for Dhoni because we had players like Sachin (Tendulkar), (Virender) Sehwag, myself, Yuvraj (Singh), Yusuf (Pathan), Virat (Kohli) so he had got the best teams,” Gambhir said. “Ganguly had to work very hard for it, and as a result Dhoni won so many trophies.”
