Mahendra Singh Dhoni is a great captain and finisher. He gave many sleepless nights to world-class bowlers. During his stint as the skipper, he took the Indian Cricketer team to greater heights. Winning three International Cricket Council(ICC) trophies is one of his great achievements while leading the Men in Blue.
Out of all his achievements as a skipper, guiding India towards the victory in the 50-over World Cup win remains iconic. The way he had sent the ball into the stands still echoes in cricket fans' minds. However, there is a criticism that only MS Dhoni is credited for the World Cup win, while the other players were sidelined.
World Cup-winning player Gautam Gambhir raises his voice on this on many occasions. He says that everyone should come out of their obsessions with the six and only the six did not win the World Cup.
Gautam Gambhir now has another one to support his claim. Ace spinner and fellow world-cup winning player Harbhajan Singh joined the chorus and said that only Dhoni shouldn't be credited for the world cup win.
Harbhajan Singh said that it's the teamwork that had helped India win the world cup trophy and not the sole performance of any player. Highlighting the role played by other players, Singh asked why they were ignored, while only Dhoni is credited.
Drawing a comparison between India and Australia, Harbhajan Singh asked why the whole Australian team is credited when the team wins the World Cup and only Dhoni is credited when India won the world cup. What about the recognition and credit of other players, he asked.
"When Australia wins the World Cup at that time everyone says 'Australia won the World Cup'. When India wins the World Cup at that time, everyone said, 'MS Dhoni won the World Cup. Toh baaki ke 10 waha lassi peene gaye the?," Harbhajan Singh said.
The reason behind crediting MS Dhoni for the World Cup win is that no other captain had managed to achieve what Dhoni had achieved. Even with a young team and new players, he brought the T20 cup to India. That's his potential and no one can deny this fact.
