Gautam Gambhir Recalls Being the Roommate of MS Dhoni
Former India opener Gautam Gambhir recently recalled his memories from the good old days and opened up about the days when he and MS Dhoni used to share a room during their tour with the national team.
He said, "So, we removed the bed out of the room and then we slept on the floor on the mattresses and it was a great moment because we both were young. MS just initially started playing international cricket, we went to Kenya together, Zimbabwe, India A tour together, we spent a lot of time together."
He further added, "We were roommates for more than a month and all we used to talk about was hair because he had those long hair and how he would maintain that hair and all that stuff," Gambhir said on Star Sports show Cricket Connected. We remember sleeping on the floor, because we had a very small room and the first week, we were discussing how to make this room look bigger.
However, Gautam Gambhir had earlier shared that the former India captain was 'lucky' to have such a good and experienced team to lead and therefore he was able to be as successful as he was in his reign as the captain because the hard work was done by his seniors especially Sourav Ganguly – the former India captain and now the president of the BCCI.
He added that MS Dhoni has been a very lucky captain because he got the experienced team in every format. Even he also added that leading the side in the 2011 World Cup team was very easy for him as he had players like Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag, Gambhir, Yuvraj Singh, Yusuf Pathan, Virat Kohli and others so he had got the best teams that helped India win. Notably, MS Dhoni became the first captain to win all three ICC trophies.
