NEW DELHI: A heartwarming exchange between two of Indian cricket’s most prominent figures, MS Dhoni and Gautam Gambhir, caught the attention of fans after India’s triumph in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 final in Ahmedabad.
For years, cricket fans have discussed the relationship between Dhoni and Gambhir, especially after Gambhir’s past comments about Dhoni’s iconic match-winning six in the 2011 ICC Cricket World Cup Final against Sri Lanka. However, their recent celebrations after India’s latest world title seemed to reflect a more relaxed and friendly exchange.
Dhoni, who watched the final at Narendra Modi Stadium, later posted on Instagram to congratulate the team and sent a playful message to Gambhir, now India’s head coach.
“History gets created at Ahmedabad, big congratulations to the team and support staff and to all the fans of the Indian Cricket Team worldwide. Such a pleasure to see all of you play. Coach Sahab, smile looks great on you. Intensity with smile is a killer combo, very well done. Enjoy guys (BUMRAH ke baare mein kuch na likhoon tou hi acha hai. CHAMPION BOWLER), ” Dhoni captioned the post.
Gambhir, who is celebrating his first ICC T20 WC title as head coach, responded warmly to the former India captain’s comment, writing, “And what a reason to smile, great seeing you.”
