Icc World Cup 2011 News

Paddy Upton has said that it was the right call to promote MS Dhoni ahead of Yuvraj Singh in the 2011 World Cup final as the former is one of those genuine massive high-pressure players while the latter isn’t. MS Dhoni scored a game-changing knock of 91 runs to help the team lift the trophy.

Former Indian opening batsman Gautam Gambhir has stated that it's unfortunate that people talk only about a six and not about Yuvraj Singh or other star performers from the 2011 World Cup win. Gambhir also termed Yuvraj as the biggest unsung hero from both of India's World Cup wins.

Yuvraj Singh’s father Yograj Singh has opined that selectors were equally to blame for his son’s unceremonious sacking from the Indian squad, along with two skippers MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli. He has also added that all great players should get a send-off based on their performances.
