Their have been talks about a rift between Gambhir and Dhoni but the photo is a proof that both cricketers have respect for each other. Here’s how the fans reacted to the post:
Dhoni continued his sublime form in the LSG face-off as he scored a quickfire 16 not out off just 6 deliveries, including a maximum and a couple of boundaries, in the final over. His fireworks came after Robin Uthappa (50) and all-rounder Shivam Dube (49) showcased their batting prowess. It was the fourth time a team posted a 200-plus score in IPL 2022 so far.
