Team India Head Coach Gautam Gambhir responded to former captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s congratulatory post after India’s T20 World Cup 2026 win, where Dhoni complimented Gambhir, saying, “smile looks great on you.”
However, Gautam Gambhir applauded MS Dhoni for posting after India’s win, saying that it was good for him to do so.
“It’s very difficult to be in a situation where people have not been. But good on him that he posted on that, honestly. But I feel that when you’re in a dugout, there is so much at stake. There is always so much expectation from the Indian team that even if you want to laugh, you can’t laugh. Especially when you play a tournament like the World Cup. Because in India, unfortunately, losing is not an option – but it can happen. Because if losing was not an option, then India would have won all the World Cups. But that doesn’t happen,” Gambhir told ANI in an interview.

After Team India’s win, MS Dhoni, while praising India’s back-to-back T20 World Cup wins, also complimented coach Gambhir, saying, “smile looks great on u, intensity with smile is a killer combo.”
“History gets created at Ahmedabad, big congratulations to the team and support staff and to all the fans of the Indian Cricket Team worldwide. Such a pleasure to see all of u play. Coach Sahab 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),” MS Dhoni said in his Instagram post.
However, Team India beat New Zealand by 96 runs to successfully defend their T20 World Cup title as well.
