Former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan said that Gautam Gambhir played with the ego of MS Dhoni when he was the captain of KKR. "He was the only one who succeeded in rattling him for years," Irfan said. Referring to instance where Gambhir placed fielders close to Dhoni, Irfan stated, "MS was rattled to the core by the field setting."
