Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir are two greats of the game and their respective contributions to the Indian cricket team has been absolutely unparalleled. 

The last couple of games for India in the World Cup saw Virat Kohli doing the heavy lifting for the Men in Blue. Against Bangladesh, he stitched together a memorable century, and followed it up with a fabulous 95 against New Zealand. 

After these two displays, of course talks of Virat Kohli being a finisher have been vehemently talked about. Talking to Star Sports, Gautam Gambhir said, “I have never understood why the finisher's tag is given only to Nos. 5 to 7. An opener can also be a finisher. A No. 11 can also be a finisher. This has just been created by the media."

He further added, “There was probably no finisher 10 years ago. There can't be a better finisher than Virat Kohli because of the number of games he has won. So don't call only the Nos. 5, 6 and 7 as finishers. Whoever scores the last run is a finisher."

Gambhir also talked about Virat missing a century, pointing out, “Think about how obsessed we are with a hundred that we have stopped remembering the 95-run knock. He has won the match. It doesn't matter if it was going to be the 49th or 100th hundred."

He concluded by saying, “Praise him because he won you the match. Zero to 95 is a big journey. Praise him because of the pressure under which he batted. We need to say repeatedly that the obsession with stats needs to end if India has to win the World Cup."
