Gautam Gambhir Says Virat Kohli’s 82 vs Pakistan was Not the Best Innings Ever by an Indian in T20s

Gautam Gambhir, the man who played two substantial knocks in the World Cup finals for India in 2007 and 2011, has made a striking comment about Virat Kohli’s 82-odd defying 82 against Pakistan. Gambhir indirectly hinted that Kohli’s 82 was not the best innings he has seen played by an Indian in T20Is, as claimed by many other prominent cricketers.

For those who don’t know, the Indian skipper Rohit Sharma lauded Virat Kohli after the win against Pakistan and claimed that Kohli’s inning was possibly the best knock by an Indian in T20Is. However, it seems that the former Indian opener Gautam Gambhir thinks otherwise.

India lost last night against the Proteas in a T20 World Cup clash. The only batter who looked comfortable on the bouncy pitch of The Gabba was Suryakumar Yadav for India. The trio of Rohit, Rahul and Kohli failed against the South African pacers and it was the monumental effort by Suryakumar Yadav that took India to a fighting total of 133 runs.

Now, Gambhir has made a comment about that inning. Gambhir said, “He got us to 133. I’ve seen a lot of innings in the past. People have got hundreds for India, he himself has got a hundred. It can’t get better than this. It can’t get tougher than this. Whether it’s the condition, or the bowling. When he came in to bat, India were 50/5 (26/2), and from there, if you can get 60-odd off 40, on this kind of wicket… I haven’t seen a better T20 innings to be honest, than this.”

Then he went on to add, “Yes, you can talk about hundreds and stuff, but it can’t get better than this. For me, this is the best T20 innings that has been played by an Indian.”

Do you agree with Gautam Gambhir’s claims?
