Who was true batting MoM for India in 2011 WC final?

[mancalledsting]

Gambhir at the top of the order did the hard work and formed the backbone of the innings. Somehow MoM award went to someone else. Discuss??

Dhoni just got lucky, as he did in the inaugural WT20 & first half of his career.

based on voting so far, early signs aren't good for Thaala. Dance chamchas dance!

[Vijy]

Don't worry. Those chamchas are very good at creating alternate IDs for trolling.

It’s been 7 years we need to move on.

Oi, I saw you troll vote on my post. Pot calling the kettle black eh

Gambhir but unlike people say who just hate Dhoni, I would say Dhoni did his part too and had a very important role to play as we could have had a collapse too. So to promote the idea of Gambhir as MOM we shouldn’t forget that Dhoni scored well. 

 

 

 

Gambhir should have been given the MOM though.

Dhoni did nothing in worldcup so obviously after so many failures anyone will score and i agree there was pressure and all but gambhir did all hard work and dhoni creamed more easy runs compared to gambhir's. If yuvi would have come in he would have scored half century too but dhoni knew it's best time to score against weak lankan side and dumb fans will keep praising him for lifetime.

[Real McCoy]

I saw the match. Gambhir had his luck but he made the most of it. It wouldn't have mattered to me if he was the MoM. But Dhoni stayed and finished off the innings. You hear commentators say dont leave it to the next guy. Dhoni followed the maxim to the tee. Gambhir was very nervous coming in after Sehwag duck. Thats very normal. He hit the first delivery swing into him almost caught in the leg side but went for four. Off Murali's bowling he was almost caught in the deep near midoff. I think it was Kulasekara who dropped him. This was when we were 80/2 or something. Gambo was out with 50 runs to get with a wild slog. If he had stayed with Dhoni, he would have won the MoM. Dhoni played a chanceless innings. He was the iceman in the chase.

Dhoni because the pressure of doing it was mind boggling, over all game conditions. It was not an ordinary game although the match situation was normal. If there was a option for both, I would have given it.

 

Was yuvraj's innings technically very special in quarters? He edged a few. But it was priceless, his best odi innings.when dhoni got out, everybody had given up almost as rrwas 6, the opponent was australia and brett lee was steaming in. Now compare this pressure to wc final. If dhoni got out, you are exposing 3 lefties to murali, 2 of them played him very poorly historically. Dhoni also dominated the innings with rarely a false shot, after a terrible out of form tournament. Being ind captain makes you do funny things. He overcame that in wc final in front of home crowd. Gambhir's innings was equally important, no need belittle any one of them.

 

Just to clarify, in my view, dhoni should have retired 1 year ago. This post has nothing to do with his current stupidity,ruining his career end.

You know how . And the SL side was not weak with Malinga, Murali, etc.

No easy runs in the final,that too world cup final.

 You earn every run when you are under pressure.

 

Even India va Pak of wc2003 Dravid and Yuvi and Kaif played massive role and it wasn’t just about Tendulkar. These are high pressure games where we could have collapsed even when Tendulkar got out with our score 170 odd Dravid and Yuvi partnered well to make it an easy win for India in 03 game against Pak. That was also important.

 

 

 

That all said, Gambhir should be man of the match, he saw it all, the pressure, the crowd going silent and the fiery Malinga at his peak.

Dhoni never faced Malinga in new ball spell. Murali was past prime.

 

Edit: Someone should find out how many balls dhoni faced of malinga and how many gambhir did.

A matter of three runs,that is all.A century would have made Gambhir's case stronger,unfortunately the guy was a thorough team man and did not think in those terms

Dhoni had nothing to lose, he had a meaningless tourney up until that point- he was just glory hunting and took all the shine away from one of our real heroes Yuvraj.

Murali bowled quite well throughout the knock outs.partcularly against nz.

Yeah nobody mentions Dravid, Yuvi who finished the innings when Sachin got out with 100 runs to get against Wasim, Waqar, Shoaib, etc. Nobody gives a **** about them but Dhoni's innings all of a sudden Yuvi makes an appearance LOL.

Lets agree to disagree on the MoM. To the man who finished it without a chance goes the spoils with all due respect to Gambhir's innings. If he finished with Dhoni, Gambhir would have the MoM

If dhoni wanted to be the hero, he would have prompted himself against wahab Riaz in the QF or against Australia when we truly needed someone before yuvi saw us through. There was no need for dhoni to promote himself in the final especially given how wankehde was a great place to chase and when just in the last two matches dhoni didn't do anything and yuvi saw us through in the QF and Raina scored those runs in the SF. So Dhoni played in one important match and his shameless chamchas want to show us how he's a big game player.

 

Should we also parade about his abilities in every other big game? How about the 2007 t20 final where he batted 6(10) in the death overs. How about the recent CT final against the Pakistani. What about the SF against Australia in 2015 where he put pressure on Rahane to score quick runs and after the match was out of hand, he scored a few fluke boundaries and his loser fans want to blame others for not supposedly giving him support. Apart from 2007 T20 SF and 2011 Final, dhoni has failed in every big game situation. Everyone of them.
