Gautam Gambhir talks about his relation with MS Dhoni.

Senior Indian cricketers, Gautam Gambhir and Mahendra Singh Dhoni are definitely not the best of friends but the southpaw reckons that despite media speculations, there was never any rivalry between Dhoni and him. However, he also revealed that they had difference in opinions while playing for the country.

"There was never a rivalry between me and Dhoni. When we played for India, irrespective of the difference of opinion, winning was our ultimate objective. There are bound be differences in opinion. That happens in any sphere of life, if you are in a group, be it in a family or anywhere else, but until the time your goal is to make your country win, I don't think there will ever be any differences. I think he's a fantastic player and a fantastic human being," Gambhir said while interacting with fans via live Facebook chat.
