GAUTAM GAMBHIR- BEST PLAYER OF SPIN IN INDIA

GAUTAM GAMBHIR a gutsy left-handed opening batsman with his blazing batting style who is aggressive in his approach  and a feisty fielder too. His nickname is “Gauti”. He made his ODI debut against Bangladesh in 2003 and Test debut against Australia in 2004. He was consistent in his performance between 2008 to 2011. But you know what when he  was dropped from the World Cup 2007 squad he said he didn’t want to play anymore but he stuck with cricket and made a comeback in the Indian team.

Having a batting average of 40 plus in ODI and 50 plus in Test is just outstanding. Gambhir proved his batting skills on many big occasions like he did in Twenty-20 World cup final in 2007, by scoring 75 runs and scored 97 runs in the World Cup final 2011. His opening partner Virender Sehwag proclaimed him as the best opener after Sunil Gavaskar.

He is the only Indian player to have scored five consecutive hundred in five consecutive Test matches. He is the only Indian player to have scored 300 plus runs in 4 consecutive Test series.

Indian Premier League

For his impressive performance in the year 2007 Gautam Gambhir was signed by his home team Delhi Daredevils to play for Delhi in the Indian Premier League (IPL) in 2008. After the World Cup 2011, Gambhir's failures went unpunished. In England and Australia, where India lost eight continuous Tests, Gambhir was finding himself to score runs and getting out while poking at deliveries outside off. One time he was the strongest contender for captaincy but he went to struggling to keep his place in the side.
