"We have not given enough credit to Yuvraj Singh" - Gautam Gambhir on 2011 ICC World Cup win
Speaking about India's triumphant 2011 ICC Cricket World Cup campaign, former opening batter Gautam Gambhir opined that Yuvraj hasn't got enough credit for his performances in the showpiece event.
He suggested that apart from Yuvraj, several fans have also not acknowledged the contributions of Sachin Tendulkar and Zaheer Khan. Gambhir claimed that all the limelight was reserved for MS Dhoni's match-winning six in the final against Sri Lanka.
The cricketer-turned-politician told RevSportz:
"Forget about me, I think we have not given enough credit to Yuvraj Singh as well. How many people talk about Zaheer Khan's first spell in the final? Sachin Tendulkar was our top run-scorer. We keep talking about one six which MS played. You are obsessed with individuals so much that you forget about the team."
It is worth mentioning that Yuvraj was the Player of the Series in the 2011 World Cup, chalking up 362 runs from eight innings while also bagging 15 wickets.
