Dhoni wanted Gautam Gambhir to score a century in the 2011 World Cup final, but what happened after the match was sad

 The final match of the 2011 World Cup 

was played between India and Sri Lanka. Team India had stumbled at one time and Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag returned to the pavilion after getting out, then Gautam Gambhir took over the innings and gave Team India victory in the final match. Mahendra Singh Dhoni, the hero of the final match, was not alone, of course, Dhoni had hit a six on the last ball and he was the captain of Team India, but it did not mean that Dhoni alone won this match.

Mahendra Singh Dhoni never took the credit for the 2011 World Cup final victory on himself. Dhoni always kept saying that it was teamwork and the team did well. In this match, Gautam Gambhir scored 97 runs and Mahendra Singh Dhoni played an innings of 91 runs. This innings of both the players were valuable. In this final match, Mahendra Singh Dhoni was given the Player of the Match award, but somewhere Gautam Gambhir was also becoming entitled to this award. Gautam Gambhir's innings of 97 were more important than Mahendra Singh Dhoni's innings as the situation was very bad when Gambhir was present on the pitch. Gambhir and Virat Kohli handled the innings to a great extent. Virat Kohli scored 35 runs in 49 balls in this match.

#Controversy happened over Gautam Gambhir's century

But the real controversy was over Gautam Gambhir's century. The World Cup was over, the final team India won, but later there were talks about it several times and the conversation came to the conclusion that Gautam Gambhir could have scored a century, but Mahendra Singh Dhoni had explained to Gautam Gambhir at that time that he should stop batting a bit. Do it and be patient. Gautam Gambhir slows down his batting speed a bit and he starts focusing on the century. As soon as Gambhir focuses on the century and he is out. Gautam Gambhir always had the sorrow of not scoring a century in the final of 2011.

#Dhoni wanted Gambhir to score a century

Mahendra Singh Dhoni has never talked about this entire controversy, but the real truth is that Mahendra Singh Dhoni himself wanted Gautam Gambhir to score a century in this final match. Dhoni was advised by Gambhir to complete a century because scoring a century in the World Cup final is not in the fate of every batsman. Dhoni absolutely did not want Gambhir to get out or to miss a century and all the credit for the match should go to Dhoni.

Mahendra Singh Dhoni wanted Team India to win the World Cup under his captaincy, apart from this Dhoni's purpose was nothing. After the media trial after the match, after that, the relationship between Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Gautam Gambhir was continuously attacked and everything has been created which later the media continuously put spices on the relationship of Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Gautam Gambhir. made news.

But the truth is that Dhoni wanted Gautam Gambhir to complete a century in this match. Gautam Gambhir was certainly seen giving his career-best performance in this match but perhaps Gambhir did not have a century in his luck on this day.
