India needs to come out of this hero worship - Gautam Gambhir urges the nation to stop idolizing individuals
By Gokul Nair Modified 19 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share Gautam Gambhir is far from pleased with the state of things among the fans of Indian cricket Former India opening batter Gautam Gambhir has urged the nation's masses to stop idolizing individuals, particularly when it comes to cricket. The left-handed batter believes that Indian cricket needs to be put above individuals for the collective benefit of the nation. Indian fanbase is arguably second to none in the global cricket landscape. From full-house stadiums to expressing their opinions on social media, ardent Indian fans are never lacking in terms of effort but tend to cross the line once in a while. The blindsided idolization often leads to raging debates and a plethora of other issues which often steal the limelight.
