Not accountable to social media, only to people in the changing room: Gautam Gambhir

This highlights one very important aspect of the Indian cricket culture where players, current or former, have utmost respect for each other. Very rarely does one hear an unpalatable remark from one Indian cricketer to another. 2007 T20 World Cup-winning captain MS Dhoni was also in attendance as India thrashed New Zealand by 96 runs.

Gambhir has however, been critical of Dhoni in the past, one of the very few examples of such instances in Indian cricket. Gambhir and a couple of players like Virender Sehwag and Harbhajan Singh have criticised Dhoni in the past, blaming him for a premature end to their international careers after the high of the 2011 World Cup win.

But Dhoni, a legend in Indian cricket, displayed a big heart on Sunday night and praised Gambhir not a little. In an Instagram post, the former India captain, the only one to date to win all three ICC white-ball events, wrote: "History gets created at Ahmedabad, big congratulations to the team and support staff and to all the fans of Indian Cricket Team worldwide. Such a pleasure to see all of u play. Coach Sahab's smile looks great on u, intensity with smile is a killer combo, very well done. enjoy guys(BUMRAH ke baare mein kuch na likhoon tou hi acha hai.CHAMPION BOWLER)."
