New Delhi: Former India opener Gautam Gambhir believes that New Zealand’s performance in last year’s World Cup was the most consistent and they were entitled to become joint winners of the tournament with England. In the historic final played at Lord’s, New Zealand were beaten by hosts England based on the rule of boundary counting as the match was tied first after regular overs and then after super overs.
Gambhir, a cricketer-turned-politician, said on Star Sports’ Cricket Connected, “The last time the World Cup should have been joint winners. New Zealand should have won the title of world champion but it was unfortunate. “
Former opener Gambhir believes that New Zealand has always performed well in the World Cup but did not get the credit they deserve. He said, “If you look at his overall record, there is a lot of consistency in his performance.” He was runner-up in the last two World Cups and there is a lot of consistency in his performance. “
