Gautam Gambhir was the reason why India managed to put on 157/5 batting first in the final. Virender Sehwag missed the final due to hamstring injury and Yusuf Pathan opened the innings and made a name for himself by hitting Mohammad Asif for a huge six. But India kept losing wickets at regular intervals with Umar Gul doing the most damage.

But Gambhir stayed put at the other end and continued doing good work. He made a match-winning 75 off 54 balls with 2 sixes and 8 fours. And his innings was instrumental in the final outcome of the match.
