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.
