Whenever India’s 2011 World Cup triumph is discussed, MS Dhoni and Gautam Gambhir’s contributions are mentioned. Both played crucial knocks in the final. While Gambhir’s 97 rescued India’s innings from early trouble, Dhoni’s unbeaten 91 provided the finishing touch, sealing the title after 28 years. However, Dhoni was named Man of the Match, and social media often credits him more for the victory, and debate over their innings remains alive even today.
In the years following the World Cup, tensions emerged between the two, especially as Gambhir was sidelined from Team India under Dhoni’s captaincy. Meanwhile, the World Cup-winning duo reunited at the wedding of Rishabh Pant’s sister, Sakshi.
