Former cricketer Gautam Gambhir’s tweet about this has caused a stir.
Controversial tweet
Tweeted yesterday, Forget 1983, 2007, 2011 World Cup victories. The medal the hockey team won at the Olympics was bigger than the World Cup. In cricket, the Indian team had won the World Cup in all those 3 years. Gautam Gambhir was featured in the 2007 and 2011 World Cups.
28-year dream
Fans have been raving on social media that Gambhir has insulted the success of the Indian cricket team by comparing cricket with the hockey tournament, regardless of how hard the players are working to win all the 3 World Cups and their hard work.
Despised victory
Gambhir, who has been the hero of 2 World Cup series, is suddenly bragging about victories, and the Indian cricket team has not won trophies easily, questioning how you can say that.
Twenty-eight years after 1983, under Dhoni’s leadership, India won the ODI World Cup. That was Sachin Tendulkar’s lifelong dream.
Fans are questioning whether you have tarnished the trophy by comparing it to hockey in an instant.
Condemnation
Cricketer Gautam Gambhir has announced that he will eventually retire without getting a chance on the team. Since then he has been involved in politics and is currently an MP. Many, both as a cricketer and as a politician, have condemned Gambhir’s remarks as an apology.
It is well known that Gautam Gambhir played a key role in the success of the 2011 World Cup. He scored 97 runs to help the Indian team win. Gambhir tweeted that it was a great honor for India to win an Olympic medal. Moreover, India has ended its 41-year wait for an Olympic medal, which makes this victory even better.
