gautam gambhir, ms dhoni and credit for the win, these three things remind us of the 2011 world cup final. gautam gambhir played an innings of 97 runs in the world cup final, while dhoni scored an unbeaten 91 and hit the winning shot for Team India. After that historic victory of India, there has been a debate on social media from time to time that dhoni took the credit for India's win in the final, while the maximum credit for the win should have gone to Gambhir. Now, while talking to ABP news, Gambhir has issued a big statement on not getting the credit for the win.
ABP news asked gautam gambhir whether he was not given the credit for India's win in the final. Gambhir replied, "I do not agree with this, in fact people should ask this question to themselves. Common people have given me a lot of love for that innings."
I did not play to take credit
gautam gambhir targeted his critics and said that when a player is going to play such a big match, he does not think about taking credit. Gambhir said, "Those who raise the question that I was not given credit for the victory in the final, in fact those same people did not give me credit for the victory. The rest of the people have given me a lot of love for that innings."
Gambhir said that when a match of such a big level is being played, instead of the personal score, a player thinks whether he can be a part of the world cup winning team or not. Targeting his critics who talk about personal achievements, Gambhir said that Mahela Jayawardene scored a century in the final, but no one will remember that. According to Gambhir, if sri lanka had won the final, then perhaps a lot would have been talked about Jayawardene's century.
