While both Gautam Gambhir and MS Dhoni played match-winning knocks in the 2011 World Cup final to help India win the title after 28 years, it was MS Dhoni who hit a six and finished off the job with an unbeaten 91. On the other hand, Gambhir also scored a brilliant 97. But his knock goes unnoticed as Dhoni’s six off Nuwan Kulasekara to win the final has earned iconic status as well.

However, last year, Gautam Gambhir slammed ESPNCricinfo for a social media post on the 9th anniversary of India’s World Cup win where they had mentioned Dhoni’s iconic six in the caption only as well. And, Gautam  Gambhir replied by stating that the World Cup win was a team effort and it was high time that they should respect others’ effort rather than their “obsession for a six” as well.

Here is how Twitterati reacted to the post of Gautam Gambhir:
