Prior to the match, Gambhir showered Dhoni with praise, acknowledging him as the paragon of success in Indian cricket history.
'M S Dhoni stands as a towering figure in Indian cricket, arguably the most successful captain ever,' Gambhir expressed eloquently on Star Sports.
'His unprecedented achievement of securing three ICC trophies places him on a pedestal beyond reach. While victories abroad and in Test matches are significant, Dhoni's triumphant legacy in ICC competitions remains unparalleled.'
