Top-scoring for India in a World Cup final is the stuff of dreams. Former India opener Gautam Gambhir has achieved the monumental feat not once but twice in his trophy-laden career. An iconic career that kicked off in 2003, Gambhir remained instrumental in adding every major trophy to India’s rich trophy cabinet. Gambhir top-scored (75) for MS Dhoni’s Team India in the ICC World T20 2007 blockbuster final against Pakistan.Speaking to Sportskeeda, the KKR mentor revealed that it was India’s World Cup game against Australia which made him weep the entire night. “After seeing a match, I wanted to win the World Cup for India. I remember the 1992 India-Australia World Cup game in Brisbane, which India lost by one run, and I actually remember that I cried the entire night. I have never cried like that before or after that, and I don’t know why,” Gambhir recalled.
