Former cricket icon Gautam Gambhir is suddenly trending on Twitter and that too for a reason. On Sunday, India made a sloppy start against England in the World Cup and Gambhir was at the studio analysing the game. The former cricketer and current East Delhi MP heaped praise on Rohit Sharma and called him a "selfless player" and the most consistent batsman of the tournament. It was Rohit Sharma’s 87 runs that helped India gain a decent total against England on Sunday.
“ Rohit Sharma could have easily scored 40-50 hundred in his career, but he is least bothered about it and is a selfless player. He has got a positive mindset and that makes him a proper leader. PR works and marketing won't help you win titles. If India really hopes to lift the World Cup on November 19th, a positive attitude is a must. Players should decide whether they want centuries or the World Cup title ” Gambhir said.
Soon after Gambhir’s talk ended, the issue snowballed as many Virat Kohli fans found the talk offensive as they doubted it was implicitly pointed to Kohli. Kohli scored two centuries in this World Cup and is just one short of tallying with cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar's record of 45 centuries in ODI.
A victory against England will ensure India’s berth in the semis. Sunday’s match is at Lucknow and India is currently at 229 at the loss of nine wickets.
Gautam. Gambhir brutually exposed Virat Kohli's PR 😭😭😭😭
