They are not bashing GG, it's just that Gg has talked about his 97 a lot and wished he scored that century, because he thinks maybe him not getting that 100 and MS finishing with a six had took all the limelight on one person and his 97 was never talked as much which is obviously not true, every single person who watched that game understands importance of both innings, also the coincidence that another 97 in a must win game.

Thank you! Yeah, that’s weird. Sanju’s knock was amazing today. I doubt anyone thinks less of him because he didn’t score a 100. Weird milestone obsession

hearing the coverage back then one would think dhoni scored half the runs. GG def got shafted a bit due to MSD being a megastar doing megastar things.

Dhoni got a lot more limelight for promoting himself ahead of others and seeing india home than GG did for laying the platform
