<p>It has been nine years since India successfully lifted the ICC World Cup 2011 to put an end to a 28-year wait for all the fans. While fans and former players look back to the glorious campaign by the Men in Blue, several iconic moments and performances pop up in the mind. However, former India opener-turned BJP MP – Gautam Gambhir – was left fuming on Thursday with an obsession over MS Dhoni’s final six in the summit clash of the 2011 World Cup against Sri Lanka, which was also the final runs for India in the quadrennial event.&nbsp;</p>

<p>While fans and other social media handles relived the moment by posting Dhoni’s photograph, Gambhir was irked by the obsession for that six and took to Twitter to express his opinion regarding it.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“Just a reminder @ESPNcricinfo: #worldcup2011 was won by entire India, entire Indian team &amp; all support staff. High time you hit your obsession for a SIX,” Gambhir wrote.</p>
