Dhoni had batted at number 3, I am sure he could have broken many ODI records
Speaking on Star Sports, Gambhir had said, “If Dhoni had batted at number 3, I am sure he could have broken many ODI records.” People talk about Dhoni‘s achievements as a captain, which is right. But I think because of captaincy he sacrificed the batsman in him and he could have achieved a lot more with his bat, which he did not do. And this happens when you are the captain because then you put the team forward and forget about yourself. He batted at number 6 or 7. If Dhoni had not been the captain, he would have been the number 3 batsman. And I think he could have scored more runs than he did and could have scored more centuries as well.”
