"Harbhajan Won The Match, Dhoni And I...": Gambhir Makes Another Head-Turning Statement

Over the years, Gautam Gambhir has given some interesting statements about Team India's World Cup wins under the leadership of MS Dhoni. Especially when it comes to the 2011 ODI World Cup triumph, Gambhir has maintained that it's the team that won India the title and not certain individuals. The cricketer-turned-politician has also objected to hero-worshiping in Indian cricket. But, during the Asia Cup 2023 match between India and Pakistan, Gambhir made an interesting remark on another match between the two sides in 2010.

Much was expected of Virat Kohli in the India vs Pakistan Asia Cup 2023 clash in Pallekele on Saturday, but he did not deliver. Though the game got abandoned without a ball being bowled in the Pakistan innings, India were given a mighty scare after their innings folded on 266.

Though an opener, Kishan featured at the No. 5 spot for India in the absence of KL Rahul. Though there remain those who feel Ishan has cemented his spot in the middle-order with the performance against Pakistan, Mohammad Kaif differs in opinion, much to the disappointment of Gautam Gambhir.
