It is unarguably the best and most important knock of his cricketing career and many say that he did not get enough credit for this cold knock in a World Cup final against an A1 Sri Lankan side. While chasing 274, India lost two big names – Tendulkar and Sehwag early. MS Dhoni and Gambhir stood up to the occasion forming a 109-run partnership that got India right back into the contest.

One of the best knocks of the left-hander in his Test career came in at home against Australia when he scored a blazing 206 runs off 380 balls along side VVS Laxman, who also made a double ton. (Image Source: Twitter)
The left-hander played a crucial role in India’s victory over arch-rivals Pakistan in the T20 World Cup 2007 final. India won the final by 5 runs after Gambhir guided the Men in Blue to a total of 157. (Image Source: Twitter)
