“Dhoni has been a very lucky captain because he got an amazing team in every format. Captaining the 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. Ganguly had to work very hard for it, and as a result, Dhoni won so many trophies.”, Gambhir said on Star Sports show Cricket Connected.
Twitter wasn't very welcoming of Gambhir's thoughts and they reacted to his comment. Some of them were extremely angry for not recognizing Dhoni's hard work.
