The discussion regarding the team vs. individuals seems to be an evergreen topic for discussing the dynamics of cricket. Gautam Gambhir, known for giving his opinions irrespective of the outcome, has again commented about the obsession with individuals rather than teams. The former World Cup winner talked about how the media is more obsessed with the individuals than the team.
Speaking about the same in an interview, Gambhir said, “We have not credited Yuvraj enough for the 2011 World Cup. Even Zaheer Khan, Suresh Raina, and Munaf Patel are not credited. Sachin was the highest run scorer, but do we talk about that? Media keeps talking about that one MS Dhoni’s six. You are obsessed with individuals; you have forgotten the team.”
The former Indian cricketer felt that the likes of Yuvraj Singh, Zaheer Khan, Suresh Raina, Sachin Tendulkar, and Munaf Patel are not credited enough for their contributions to the Indian team in the 2011 ODI World Cup. The former Indian batter further criticized the media for highlighting the winning shot from MS Dhoni in the final of the tournament.
India’s performers in the 2011 ODI World Cup
India became the first team to win the ODI World Cup in home conditions. There were a lot of performers for India throughout the series. Sachin Tendulkar was the second-highest run scorer in the tournament. Virender Sehwag provided brisk starts with the bat and put pressure on the opponents right from the start. Gautam Gambhir was a solid number 3 for India. Suresh Raina played some crucial cameos as a batter.
Virat Kohli, as a young batter, also played some crucial knocks in the tournament. MS Dhoni stepped up in the final and played a great knock. Yuvraj Singh was sensational throughout the tournament and ended up as the Player of the Tournament. Zaheer Khan was so good with the ball and did well as the leader of the attack. The likes of S Sreesanth, Munaf Patel, Ashish Nehra, Harbhajan Singh, and Ravichandran Ashwin played their roles.
Here’s how the fans reacted to Gambhir’s statement –
Dhoni……….finishes off in style…..a magnificent strike into the crowd…..India lift the world cup after 28 years….the party starts in the dressing room…and its the Indian Captain who has been absolutely magnificent in the night of the final
