Records of Indian captains in Asia Cup:
Indian skipper Rohit Sharma won the Asia Cup twice. With that win, he joined MS Dhoni and Mohammad Azaharuddin to win the Asia Cup multiple times. Azaharuddin won the Asia Cup in 1991 and 1995. MS Dhoni won the trophy in 2010 and 2016.
Gambhir’s saying:
While doing commentary in the Asia Cup Gautam Gambhir was talking about Dhoni. He said, “ MS Dhoni sacrificed his international runs for the team trophies- if he had not been the captain, he would have been India’s NO 3. He could have scored more runs but he sacrificed the batter in him as he put team ahead.”
Dhoni’s sacrifice:
Dhonib started his career being a batter of the top order. Being a top-order batter he score 183 vs Pakistan In ODI. He earned the reputation of a power hitter at number 6 or 7. When he was a batter of the top order, he scored 148 runs against Pakistan in Vizag. When he became the captain he sacrificed his batting position to give the chances to the youngsters. In his captaincy, he has helped a lot of youngsters. During his captaincy tenure, he saved careers from Virat to Rohit.
He sacrificed his international runs for the team’s sake. Lastly, Gambhir praised him for this. It is often a buzz if these two former batting batter’s relations. But this time Gambhir credited Dhoni for this big reason.
