‘Bhai Jealousy ho rhi hai?’ – Fans react as Gautam Gambhir yet again speaks up about who should be credited for 2011 World Cup glory
With just less than two months left, Rohit Sharma and Co. have been gearing up to win the ODI World Cup again on home soil. Notably, the Men in Blue last won the World Cup in 2011 after defeating Sri Lanka in the final at Wankhede Stadium under the captaincy of legendary cricketer MS Dhoni, who finished off the game with a iconic six that helped India win the World Cup as the host for the first time.
Meanwhile, speaking on the same subject, former India cricketer-turned-analyst Gautam Gambhir feels the World Cup 2011 win is only attributed to MS Dhoni over any other players from the winning squad. Notably, the cricket commentator says that great all-rounder Yuvraj Singh hasn’t been credentialed for the team win despite performing so well in the tournament, and the media is very obsessed with former India skipper MS Dhoni, who just finished off the game with six. Notably, India defeated Sri Lanka in the final of the 2011 ODI World Cup.
Media keep talking about that one MS Dhoni six: Gautam Gambhir
In addition, the former left-handed batter also picked up the names of Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar, great pacer Zaheer Khan, and star all-rounder Suresh Raina, who were the highest run scorers, but the LSG coach feels no one talks about them. Moreover, the 41-year-old cricketer is very upset with the media hype. In addition, the former KKR skipper says it’s just the PR and marketing that portray MS Dhoni as the biggest winner of the tournament over any individual from the 2011 World Cup-winning squad.
“We haven’t credited Yuvraj enough for the 2011 WC. Even Zaheer, Raina, Munaf. Sachin was highest run scorer, but do we talk about that? Media keep talking about that one MS Dhoni six. You’re obsessed with individuals, you’ve forgotten team. It’s only and only marketing and PR and portraying one individual as the biggest and everyone else as smaller than him,” Gautam Gambhir said.
Ms dhoni took all the credit and his Paid PR made that Ms Dhoni untold story to influence people that ms is the hero of Wc11

Year by year Dhoni increased the hype for his mid knock and took all of the credit for 2011 CWC win through his pr team and made wc final heros like yuvraj, Zaheer,Gambhir look jealous and salty for asking everyone to get equal credit.— KRISHNA (@KrishnaVK_18) August 24, 2023
