Former India cricketer Gautam Gambhir has strongly criticized the culture of making a player a hero in the Indian cricket team. Gambhir believes that the way the fans are passionate about Virat Kohli, and MS Dhoni, should be for the rest of the players as well. Gambhir also said that you do not create a monster in the dressing room of the Indian cricket team, first, there was MS Dhoni and now there is Virat Kohli. There should be only one monster, that is Indian cricket, not a player.

 

In the Idea Exchange of the Indian Express, Gambhir has termed people's passion for a hero in Team India as not right for Indian cricket. Not only this, but he also called the followers of social media the fakest thing. But it is important to know the ideology behind this entire statement Gambhir. Gambhir said, 'Do you think star players coming into the culture of a player hero will get choked? No other player can grow in this kind of shadow. First, there was Mahendra Singh Dhoni and now Virat Kohli.

 

Gambhir also gave an example with his point, 'When Virat Kohli scored a century against Afghanistan, there was another player, a small town like Meerut or a young bowler, who took five wickets. But no one even talked about him. This is quite unfortunate. I was the only person who said this during commentary. He bowled four overs and took five wickets, I don't think many people know that. But Virat scored a century, it was celebrated all over the country. India should come out of the culture of worshiping only one cricketer. Whether it is about Indian cricket, politics, or Delhi cricket. The culture of worshiping one person should end.
