Gautam Gambhir Allegedly Called MS Dhoni ‘So-Called Finisher’, Got Roasted Mercilessly

MS Dhoni, the former skipper of the Indian cricket team, is certainly one of the most successful Indian skippers and he has played many match winning knocks for his team. Dhoni used to bat lower down the order when he used to play for India and many times he ensured that his team ended the match as winner because of which he also earned the title of a great finisher. Well, Mahi still bats lower down the order for his IPL team Chennai Super Kings but he is going through a rough phase as far as his bat is concerned as the CSK skipper has scored only 66 runs in 11 matches in the IPL 2021.

Gautam Gambhir, the cricketer turned politician, has been quite critical of MS Dhoni and he doesn’t mind making controversial statements despite the fact that he gets trolled a lot on social media for the same. In the past, Gambhir has made some controversial statements against Dhoni and recently, he once again stirred a storm on the social media networks when he took a jibe at Mahi.

During the IPL 2021 match between Punjab Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders, Gautam Gambhir who is also a commentator talks about the role of finishers. He states that Andre Russell is also called a finisher but Virat Kohli, the skipper of the Indian cricket team and the IPL team Royal Challengers Bangalore, has certainly emerged as the best finisher in the last 2-3 years. Gautam Gambhir adds that just by calling someone a finisher doesn’t make them a finisher and Virat Kohli has scored more runs in comparison to the so-called finishers.

Though Gautam Gambhir didn’t take MS Dhoni’s name, almost all online users were quite sure that Gambhir tried to take a jibe at Mahi who is not able to perform well with bat in the IPL 2021.
