MDS’s late firework went in vain as CSK fell 16 runs short of the mammoth 217 target put up by Rajasthan Royals in Sharjah on Tuesday. He then slammed Tom Curran for three sixes in the final over.
Dhoni ended with 29 off 17 but was on 9 off 12 before the final over started, with CSK needing 38. Dhoni batted at No.7 while chasing. This didn’t go well with Gautam Gambhir who slammed the veteran cricketer for batting at No. 7.
Gautam Gambhir was quoted as saying by ESPNCricinfo.
“Makes no sense to me. In fact, you should be leading from the front, Yes, you can talk about MS Dhoni’s last over when he hit three sixes, but it was of no use, to be honest. It was just all personal runs.”
Dhoni fans were in instant disagreement with Gambhir’s sharp remarks and the former Indian cricketer was on the trending list on Twitter as he faces online trolls.

Gautam Gambhir to Espncricinfo said that MS Dhoni batting at No.7 makes no sense to him. You should be leading from the from when the target is 217, Faf was probably the lone warrior. You can talk about MS Dhoni’s 3 sixes in the last over, but it was of no use and personal runs.
