Former Indian cricketer Gautam Gambhir has revealed he believes New Zealand was the most consistent team at last year's Cricket World Cup and should have been crowned joint winners alongside England.
The Black Caps lost to the hosts on a boundary count in the final at Lord's after the scores were tied following a Super Over, and the controversial finish has sparked debate amongst cricket fans and stars across the world since.
