On the other hand, Chennai Super Kings team captained by Ruturaj Gaikwad has won 2 out of 4 matches. In such a situation, an interesting competition will be seen between the two teams. Before this match, KKR mentor Gautam Gambhir has talked about Dhoni.
I always wanted to win the match against CSK- Gautam Gambhir
Talking about Dhoni's captaincy, Gautam Gambhir said, “When I was the captain of KKR, I always wanted to win the match against CSK. I am very clear in my mind. There is mutual respect but if you are playing against each other on the field you always want to win.”
I don't think anyone can reach that level – Gambhir
Gambhir further said, “Obviously, MS is India's most successful captain so far. I don't think anyone can reach that level. It is not an easy task for India to win 3 ICC trophies. But when I played against him in the IPL, it was a lot of fun. I also enjoyed it a lot.”
As long as Dhoni is at the crease, we can finish the match – Gambhir
Gautam Gambhir further said, “Yes, I enjoyed it in every way in the IPL because I knew MS had that strategic mindset. He is very good at strategy. Knew how to control the spinners, how to field against them and never gave up. He used to bat at number 6 or 7. We knew that as long as he remained at the crease, he could finish the match. Need 20 runs in one over and MS can finish the match. Chennai is a team against which you know you cannot win until the last run is scored.”
