Former India opener Gautam Gambhir, who played a pivotal role in India's triumphs at the 2007 T20 World Cup and the 2011 ICC World Cup, has opened up on the problem of "hero worship" in Indian cricket.
During a conversation with The Indian Express, where he was asked about the topic, Gambhir gave examples of Virat Kohli and Bhuvneshwar Kumar from the match against Afghanistan in the recently concluded Asia Cup.
The match Gambhir was referring to was a dead rubber as both Sri Lanka and Pakustan had already cemented their respective spots in the final.
India recorded a huge win in the match with Virat Kohli and Bhuvneshwar Kumar headlining the win. Kohli scored his maiden T20I century, which also was his first in international cricket in close to three years.
