WC 2011 finals moment - we all remember Dhoni's finish, but often forget Gambhir's foundation

Brisbane 2021 win, let us not forget Shubman Gill's foundation.  He set an early tone, playing a perfect knock.  He deserves as much adulation as Pant.

Gambhir's knock is underrated for the superficial reason of it not being a century. He is the one who did all the hard work and dragged us out of the jaws of defeat. Gill was solid and kept hurting the Aussies with his free scoring ways. That 20 run over against Starc was super special! If he had got out cheaply or just tuk tuk'ed, the Aussies would have been all over us like a swarm of bees. I was so disappointed when he got out, he looked good for 30-40 more. With a little more experience, he will get to the stage where he can stay till the end to finish off chases. Pant was able to draw on his chasing experience gained in the IPL and finished off the chase.

Gill was brilliant as well. His 91 will be better than many of his test hundreds that he will score in future.

Nor should we forget his 75.
