'How many people talk about him?': Gautam Gambhir furious over Yuvraj Singh's 2011 World Cup contribution always underplayed

NEW DELHI: Ravi Shastri’s tracer-bullet commentary during the climax of the 2011 World Cup final -- "Dhoni, finishes it off in style, India lift the World Cup after 28 years" -- remains etched in the hearts of every Indian cricket fan. Skipper MS Dhoni's six over mid-on off Sri Lanka's Nuwan Kulasekara, sealing the victory for the Men in Blue amidst the electrifying atmosphere in a packed Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, is one of the most iconic moments in Indian cricket history.

Gautam Gambhir's fighting 97 off 122 balls in the final and 'Player of the Tournament' Yuvraj Singh's exceptional all-round performance throughout the World Cup stand out in the highlights of India's triumphant campaign to become the ODI champions again after 1983.
