Video of Gautam Gambhir With 'MS Dhoni' Reference Resurfaces, Goes Viral
The former player of team India Gautam Gambhir is a straight and honest talker. He has never shied away from making honest comments, even if that has led to controversies. Recently, an old video went viral on social media where Gautam Gambhir could be seen talking about his removal as vice captain after India failed to qualify for the final of the CB series.
The interview was re-shared on Monday. In the video, Gauti said, "In the CB series that was being talked about, India did not qualify for the final; Australia and Sri Lanka did. I was the vice captain, and MS Dhoni was the captain. After that series, we were supposed to travel for a tri-series involving India, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh. We had not qualified for the final; before that, we had lost the Test Series 4-0. Dhoni was also under pressure; he was the captain.”

"If something was changed after the CB series, it was the vice captain. I was removed, and Virat Kohli was made the vice captain. In the history of India or any sport, has it happened even once when the vice captain was removed but the captain was intact? You can confront me if I am wrong. Duncan Fletcher was the coach then. I asked him what the reason was behind that decision. He said it was the selectors' decision. I then asked him, 'For what, then, did you go to the meeting?"
