New Delhi: Former South African skipper AB de Villiers made a massive remark ahead of the upcoming edition of the ODI World CupWorld CupWorld Cup 2o23 that is set to be held in India entirely for the first time. He highlighted the importance of a good team over an individual player. He even gave the example of the 2011 World Cup win and said it was Team India that won that tournament, not MS Dhoni.
MS Dhoni smashed a winning six in the final of the 2011 ODI World Cup against Sri Lanka and led his team to a historic win. He even won the Player of the Match award for his 91-run innings in the final. This was India’s second ODI World Cup win and fans credit Dhoni’s captaincy majorly for it.
“Cricket is a team game, it’s not a player lifting the World Cup. I see that way too often on social platforms. MS Dhoni did not win the World Cup, India won the World Cup, so keep that in mind. Don’t forget that. Ben Stokes did not lift the trophy in Lord’s back in 2019, it was team England,” said AB de Villiers on his YouTube channel.
