Former Indian opener Gautam Gambhir commends Shreyas Iyer, predicting the batsman's pivotal role in the World Cup 2023 final against Australia. Gambhir underscores Iyer's remarkable comeback post-injury, highlighting his knockout-stage century in just 70 balls. Iyer, the first Indian middle-order batsman to surpass 500 runs in a World Cup edition, amasses an impressive 526 runs with an outstanding average of 75.14. With two centuries and three half-centuries, Iyer's exceptional form positions him as the definitive game-changer. As India gears up to face Australia in the final, Gambhir sees Iyer's contribution as vital, especially against the formidable duo of Maxwell and Zampa.
