Kolkata Knight Riders (KK) captain Gautam Gambhir has come out in support of his India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni. Dhoni is receiving a lot of criticism for Rising Pune Supergiants’ poor show in the 9th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2016). RPS have won only 3 out of 10 matches in IPL 2016 so far.
In his column published in The Hindustan Times, Gautam Gambhir wrote in defense of MS Dhoni. Here are some excerpts from Gautam Gambhir’s column:
“I can feel what MS Dhoni would be going through after his team’s loss to Royal Challengers Bangalore on Saturday night. They had a decent total (191) but by no means an invincible one. For the Bangalore wicket and the small ground, maybe it was about 25 runs short.
While bowling, Pune managed to get KL Rahul and AB de Villiers out before they could hurt them. Post that, they ran into an intimidating Virat Kohli, well supported by Shane Watson. Virat and Watson batted exceedingly well but watching all of it unfold, you couldn’t but feel sorry for Dhoni.”
