Gambhir had been one of the chief architects of India’s triumph over Sri Lanka a decade ago at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, when he played one of the most important knocks of his career – a 122-ball 97 – that helped India lift the World Cup after a wait of 28 years.

MS Dhoni’s unbeaten 91 and his six off Nuwan Kulasekara which were the winning runs have become stuff of legend in Indian cricket, while Gambhir’s 97 has been considered to be one of the most underrated knocks.
