Ex-player Agrees With Gambhir Allegation at Dhoni: Hero worship is not a new thing in India, whether it comes to sports, politics, or cinema. But not everyone is a fan of this, certainly not Gautam Gambhir, who alleged the media and the broadcasters for making MS Dhoni the hero after India’s scintillating victory in the 2011 World Cup.

Now someone else has as well backed Gambhir on this, and what makes it even more interesting is that the person is a former player.
“India needs to come out of hero worship culture. Be it in any field, we have to stop worshipping big names. India should matter to everyone. Such narratives are created by social media and the broadcasters,” Gambhir said.
Former cricketer Praveen Kumar backed Gambhir
“Gautam Bhai is right. Yuvraj Singh took 15 wickets and scored runs. Zaheer Khan took 21 wickets. Gautam Gambhir scored runs in the 2007 T20 World Cup and 2011. Dhoni scored runs in the 2011 final. A team can only win when there are contributions from the batters and bowlers. One player can’t win the trophy for the team, said Praveen Kumar”
‘The hero culture has been there in Indian cricket since the 1980s. This is a wrong practice. Cricketers are made bigger than the game. The one who has more brands gets more limelight,” Praveen added.
