#5 Gautam Gambhir 75 (54) vs Pakistan, 2007

Gautam Gambhir, the man for the finals, played an important knock in a nail-biting contest in the final of the inaugural T20 World Cup. He kept the scoreboard ticking when wickets were falling on the other side and helped to set a defendable target against Pakistan.

Gambhir scored 75 at the strike rate of 138 with 8 fours and 2 sixes. The significance of his innings lies in the fact that he was the only player to score a half-century in the high-octane clash. India won the match by 5 runs and Irfan Pathan won Man of the match award instead of equally deserving Gambhir.
