Former India cricketer and a two-time World Cup winner, Gautam Gambhir, has criticised the ‘hero worship’ which is prevalent in Indian cricket fraternity, not just among the fans, but also in media and by the broadcasters themselves. Gambhir believes that this culture, which dates back to 1983 when India had scripted history with their cricket World Cup win, has led to fans hailing stars like Virat Kohli, MS Dhoni and Kapil Dev to an extent that they have forgotten or disregarded the contributions of other members of the team.
