Former Indian cricket captain MS Dhoni and current head coach Gautam Gambhir were among the high-profile guests at Rishabh Pant’s sister’s wedding in Mussoorie earlier this week. Dhoni, known for his calm demeanor, was seen dancing and singing, adding a touch of joy to the celebrations. A picture of MS Dhoni and Gautam Gambhir posing together on Wednesday sent social media into a frenzy.
The two cricket legends, who played pivotal roles in India’s 2011 World Cup victory, were captured in a heartfelt photograph with the newlyweds by photojournalist Pallav Paliwal. The image quickly went viral, much to the delight of fans.

No rift between Gambhir & Dhoni
Despite being long-time teammates, there has often been speculation about the relationship between MS Dhoni and Gambhir, especially following Gambhir’s comments on the contributions of the 2011 World Cup team. This made the picture even more special for fans, who were thrilled to see the duo sharing a moment together.
In the 2011 World Cup final, Dhoni delivered an outstanding unbeaten knock of 91 runs, while Gambhir contributed a solid 97 runs, helping India secure a 6-wicket victory over Sri Lanka to lift the prestigious trophy.
Dhoni retired from international cricket in 2020, while Gambhir transitioned to coaching, becoming the head coach of the Indian team last year. Under Gambhir’s guidance, India triumphed in the Champions Trophy last week, marking their first ICC ODI title since the 2013 Champions Trophy, when Dhoni was the captain.
While Gautam Gambhir will not be seen in this year’s IPL, Dhoni will be seen donning the CSK jersey once more. Dhoni will be aiming to lift the IPL trophy this time around and retire from the IPL.
