Gambhir pointed out MS Dhoni hasn't gave India any future captains.
Former India batsman Gautam Gambhir criticized MS Dhoni for not preparing players for the future. He pointed out the current Indian team doesn't have world-beaters who would win you a tournament on their head.
On the other hand, Gambhir lauded Sourav Ganguly for creating world-class players who helped India in the future.

“When MS Dhoni finished [his captaincy stint], he hasn't given enough quality players to Virat Kohli, apart from Virat Kohli himself and Rohit Sharma, or Jasprit Bumrah now. There are not too many world-beaters or probably people who win you tournaments,” Gambhir was quoted as saying by ESPNcricinfo.
“But look at what Sourav Ganguly gave to Indian cricket: Yuvraj Singh, Man of the Series in two World Cups [Yuvraj was only Man of the Series in the 2011 World Cup; Shahid Afridi was Man of the Series in the 2007 World T20], Harbhajan Singh, Zaheer Khan, Virender Sehwag - these kinds of world-beaters,” he added.
Recently, Gambhir had rated Dhoni as a captain over Ganguly, but he also said the former rode on the team created by the latter. He also called the three ICC trophies winning captain lucky.
