2. Gautam Gambhir’s stupendous run:
Gambhir was the most consistent performer for India with the bat in the entire tournament. The southpaw amassed 227 runs in seven innings at an average of 37 and a strike rate of 129. He had three half-centuries to his name out of which the most important one came at the grand stage of the final. The opener scored a magnificent 75 off 54 balls and helped his team reach a good total of 157. The other two half-centuries from Gambhir’s bat came against New Zealand and England respectively.
