'Coach Sir, This Smile...', Dhoni's Special Post on Becoming Champions, Gambhir Also Commented

MS Dhoni congratulated the Indian cricket team on Instagram after they won their third T20 World Cup, with Gautam Gambhir responding to his post.

India made history by winning the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 under the leadership of captain Suryakumar Yadav, defeating New Zealand by 96 runs in the final held at the Narendra Modi Stadium on March 8. This victory marks India's third T20 World Cup title. MS Dhoni, who was present at the stadium with former captain Kapil Dev and Rohit Sharma, expressed his admiration for the team's performance on social media.

In his Instagram post, Dhoni praised the Indian team and their support staff, saying, 'History was made in Ahmedabad. Congratulations to the team, support staff, and cricket fans all over the world. It was fantastic to watch you all play. Coach Sir, your smile looks great on you. The intensity combined with your smile is a killer combo. Great job, enjoy it.' He humorously added that it might be better not to write anything about Bumrah, whom he referred to as a 'champion bowler'. This post reflects Dhoni’s characteristic wit and support for his fellow cricketers.

Gautam Gambhir, the head coach of Team India and former cricketer, also commented on Dhoni's post, emphasizing the importance of such camaraderie and support within the Indian cricket community. This interaction showcases not only the victory celebration but also the bond and respect that former players share with each other, indicating a strong legacy in Indian cricket as they inspire future generations to come. The event is significant not only in terms of sports achievements but also for the morale and pride it brings to the country through cricket.
