It has been 9 years since India lifted the World Cup in Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Yet, the memories are so fresh. And since the win, the debate of crediting the players is going on. Some credits Dhoni while others credit Gambhir and it goes on.
Gautam Gambhir scored a brilliant 97 when India needed a partnership while Dhoni came at a crucial time and finished the match. Dhoni and Gambhir both have an unforgettable contribution. Anyhow, Dhoni’s winning shot is permanently stored in everyone’s heart.

True. But they never said this shot won us the worldcup. They are only saying this shot took Indians into jubilation. Relax kijiye cricket ke Advaniji.

If you think Dhoni’s innings India won 2011 worldcup then be ready to admit that Dhoni was responsible for 2019 worldcup semifinal defeat.
