Former India opener Gautam Gambhir claims that former star all-rounder Yuvraj Singh has not been given enough credit for helping the India team get to the final of the 2011 ODI World Cup. Instead, the media always focuses on MS Dhoni's winning six, which gets all the attention.

"We haven't credited Yuvraj enough for the 2011 World Cup. Even Zaheer Khan, Suresh Raina, and Munaf Patel. Sachin Tendulkar was the 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,” Gambhir told on RevSportz.

Cricket is called a team game. It is difficult for anyone to produce results on their own, at least in the ODI format. More or less everyone contributed to India winning the 2011 World Cup. Yuvraj Singh was also named the player of the tournament. He scored 362 runs in 9 innings with the bat and took 15 wickets with the ball. Speed ​​star Zaheer Khan took 21 wickets in 9 matches. This pacer was the joint highest wicket-taker of the tournament. Sachin Tendulkar scored 482 runs in 9 matches for India, the second-highest in the tournament.

Gambhir played an incredible innings in the final. He played a very effective innings of 97 runs off 122 balls. It was his unforgettable innings that paved the way for India's victory. Later, Dhoni completed the rest by scoring 91 runs off 79 balls. Gambhir was just three runs away from a century in the final. There is no regret that he could not touch the magical number of three digits, this cricketer thinks that being able to make the country proud is bigger than his own century.

Gambhir added, “When I played that inning, my thinking was not about getting celebrated. My thinking was if I can make 100 crore people happy, if I can make my country proud, that is all I have picked up my bat fo.”

Gambhir played 58 Tests, 147 ODIs, and 37 T20Is for India. He scored 4154 runs in Tests, 5238 runs in ODIs, and 932 runs in T20Is.
