"Who Is Talking About Yuvraj Singh Now?": Gautam Gambhir Aims Fresh 2011 World Cup PR Dig

Former India cricketer Gautam Gambhir once again brought up the 2011 World Cup triumph debate once again, suggesting how certain players' PR makes them heroes while others have to settle for the tag of being called 'underdogs'. Gambhir cited the example of former India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh, who was named the Player of the Tournament after India's victorious campaign in 2011 World Cup. But, feels he doesn't get the recognition he deserves for his pivotal contribution to the team's heroic campaign.

In a chat on ANI, Gambhir said that Yuvraj didn't get the recognition he deserved as he didn't have a good PR agency. The cricketer-turned-politician also fumed at 'broadcasters' for acting as PR agencies for players.

By the time India won, your innings was sort of overshadowed by Mahi's innings.

"When people talk about knocks or underrated players, they are actually the ones who underappreciate, as no one is underrated," he said.

"If today I have machinery and I have to pick two persons where I show one person for two hours and fifty minutes and the other person for 10 minutes only, then a person shown for 2 hours and 50 minutes will become a brand. Then don't say that we do not get numbers when we show the other guy because the other guy is not a brand. When you did not show the other person, you did not value the other person. Unless you do not value the other person, he won't value himself and how will the country value him. In this World Cup, one good thing happened and I am pleased about it that we became a bowling-obsessed nation from batting one. Mohammed Shami, Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammad Siraj are getting appreciated for their hard work,"
