The Dhoni vs Gambhir Debate Sparks Again As Ex India Star Re-Ignites 2011 World Cup Talks

Gautam Gambhir, the former cricketer for India, has repeatedly emphasized the issue of 'her worship' in Indian cricket. When individual players are given more than team credit for wins, Gambhir shakes his head in shock and demands that the pattern should be reversed. The politician who was once a cricket player stated that the team as a whole, not just one player (MS Dhoni), should take credit for India's 2011 ODI World Cup victory. Social media discussion on the match between Gambhir and Dhoni has resumed as former Indian bowler Praveen Kumar shared his thoughts.

India needs to come out of this hero worship. Whether it's Indian cricket, whether it's politics, whether it's Delhi cricket. We have to stop worshipping heroes. The only thing that we need to worship is Indian cricket, or for that matter Delhi or India. Who created that? It is created by two things. First, by social media followers, which is probably the fakest thing in this country. Second, by the media and the broadcasters.
~Gambhir had said

Indian team should be prioritized instead of individual players -

Reiterating Gambhir's remarks, Praveen Kumar asserted that wrestling and cricket are not individual sports. Therefore, more recognition must be given to teams and players who performed well in the series like Gautam Gambhir, Zaheer Khan, and Yuvraj Singh for India's sporting achievements.

Gautam bhai is absolutely right.
~Praveen said in an interview

This is not wrestling or any other individual sport. One man cannot win you a match. Yuvraj Singh had taken 15 wickets and scored so many runs. Zaheer Khan took 21 wickets. Gautam Gambhir scored runs in the 2007 and 2011 finals. Dhoni scored runs in the 2011 finals. A team wins only when at least three of its batters are in form and at least two bowlers are picking wickets. Be it a Test, ODI or T20I. One player can't win you tournaments.

The hero culture has always been there in Indian cricket. I think it's been there since the 1980s. This is a wrong tendency. Cricketers at times become bigger than cricket. The one who has more brand support gets more limelight
