"Love Playing More With MS Dhoni": Gautam Gambhir Reveals His "Favourite" Batting Partner

Former India batter Gautam Gambhir is regarded as one of the finest cricketers in the world. In a 12-year-long career, the left-handed batter has played many match-winning knocks for India. Apart from this, Gambhir is also widely known for giving blunt opinions about the game and other cricketers. However, in a recent interview, the former Kolkata Knight Riders skipper revealed his favourite batting partner and it was none other than, former India skipper MS Dhoni. The duo has played many innings together, the most popular one being the 2011 ODI World Cup final against Sri Lanka.

Gambhir is one of the greatest openers India ever had as he stitched many big partnerships with Virender Sehwag. But, he still feels that he made a better pair with wicketkeeper-batter MS Dhoni.

“My favourite batting partner was MS Dhoni. People think that it was Virender Sehwag but I actually love playing more with Dhoni, especially in white-ball cricket. We shared big partnerships,” Gambhir told Sportskeeda.
