Thursday, 2 April 2020, was the ninth anniversay of India’s 2011 World Cup victory and with no sports on at the moment, the day turned into a big celebration of the title with countless throwback posts on social media.
Indian coach Ravi Shastri wasnt to be left behind.
Posting a video of MS Dhoni hitting the winning shot in the final, Shastri wrote “Many Congratulations Guys! Something you will cherish all your life. Just like we from the 1983 group.”
He tagged Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli on the post - two men who were not part of the video he posted. So, of course, there was some trolling that followed.
By many, including Yuvraj Singh.
The ‘Man of the Series’ from the 2011 World Cup, Yuvraj tweeted back, ‘Thanks senior ! U can tag me and mahi also we were also part of it,’.
Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Yuvraj Singh were in fact the two people are the crease when India won the final, with Dhoni hitting the winning shot. Both however were left out of Shastri’s tweet.
