Beyond being a dog lover, Gautam Gambhir’s extraordinary batsmanship has made a lasting impression on Indian cricket.

The 2011 ODI World Cup final and the ICC T20 World Cup 2027 final would be the pinnacle of his remarkable career. In the summit match against Pakistan, he struck 75 runs off 54 deliveries and was declared the “player of the match.”

India won by just 5 runs in a dramatic match against their fiercest rivals. Gambhir came to the rescue again during the 2011 ODI World Cup final between Sri Lanka and India. Gambhir’s century of runs drove the team’s recovery after India lost their opening duo of Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag early on. He ran out in the nervous nineties and lost out on a well-earned century.
