Gambhir's Remarkable Insight
As the rain played spoilsport, the commentary team decided to delve into nostalgia, recalling India's epic three-wicket victory over Pakistan during the Asia Cup 2010. Gambhir, who played a pivotal role in that match, was asked about his memories of the game.
In a surprising turn of events, Gambhir deflected the praise that came his way for scoring 83 runs and being named the Player of the Match. Instead, he insisted that the true hero of that encounter was Harbhajan Singh, who had the honor of hitting the winning runs.
"Jitaya maine nahi, jitaya actually Harbhajan Singh ne tha. Mere aur Dhoni ke beech mein sajhedhari hui thi lekin mera maanna hai, jo akhri run banata hai, wahi jitata hai," Gambhir said, emphasizing the significance of the player who delivers the final blow.
A Surprising Departure
Gambhir's comment during the India-Pakistan match took many by surprise, given his past stance on similar situations. He has often been vocal about the collective team effort that won the 2011 ODI World Cup for India, emphasizing that crediting MS Dhoni's final six against Sri Lanka was unjust. His belief that a team's victory should be attributed to collective efforts rather than an individual's moment of glory has been consistent throughout his career.
