NEW DELHI: One of many most interesting top-order batters and World Cup winner, Gautam Gambhir on Thursday took a jibe on the social media tradition, declaring that there was an inclination to have a good time people greater than the crew within the nation.
Gambhir’s remarks got here in context to the the 2011 World Cup triumph as he reiterated that the title win was a collective effort. Declaring that social media has been biased, Gambhir felt that different performers other than MS Dhoni aren’t celebrated sufficient.
“Can we have a good time Yuvraj Singh sufficient for what he did within the 2011 World Cup with all of the well being considerations he had? Can we have a good time Zaheer Khan’s opening spell sufficient? To start out off a World Cup ultimate with 4 maiden overs is unbelievable, and but he is not given sufficient credit score. Can we have a good time Sachin Tendulkar‘s efforts sufficient? Sure, we have a good time him and the win, however what number of bear in mind he was the very best scorer within the World Cup with two a whole bunch to his title? Can we have a good time Harbhajan Singh’s spell in opposition to Pakistan in Mohali, or Suresh Raina’s innings in opposition to Australia in Ahmedabad and Pakistan in Mohali? Each these innings had been match-winning efforts,” Gambhir stated within the chat on RevSportz.
“Whereas we have a good time MS Dhoni’s innings within the ultimate, we must always have a good time these different efforts as a lot. Nobody innings might win India the trophy. It was a collective effort, and must be celebrated as such. It’s due to social media that we do not do it. Social media is biased and everyone knows that. However social media does not make it the reality. There may be all the time an inclination on social media to have a good time people greater than the crew. In doing so, what occurs is we do not have a good time key performers who had as a lot a component to play. And that is a problem for positive. All I’ll say is we must always have a good time your entire crew. Whereas we have a good time Dhoni, we also needs to have a good time the others who all performed crucial roles within the Indian win,” he defined.
