New Zealand should have been joint winners of 2019 World Cup: Gautam Gambhir

Former India cricketer Gautam Gambhir feels New Zealand was most consistent side in last year's ICC ODI World Cup and deserved to be joint winner of tournament alongside England. In epic final at Lord's, New Zealand lost to hosts England on boundary count-back after scores were tied even after super over.

NZ should have been joint winners

"re should have been joint World Cup winners last time around. New Zealand should have gotten that tag of being world champions, but it was unfortunate," cricketer-turned-politician said on Star Sports' show 'Cricket Connected'.  

38-year-old former India opener believes Black Caps have been putting up impressive performances in World Cups but have never got credit y deserve. "If you see ir overall record, y have been very consistent. For last one World Cup, and World Cup before that, y were runners-up and y have been very consistent.  "I think y have been very competitive in every condition y have played. We don't give m eugh credit," Gambhir said.
