Profile
A prolific run-scorer at the domestic level, Gautam Gambhir soon made an impact in 2002 by smashing successive double tons in first-class matches. He was soon a contender for the opening slot in the Indian side. His solid footwork, high bat-speed and a boldly young approach perplexed bowlers more than once as vigilant defence was substituted by the aerial route over point. With his slight build and shy attitude, Gambhir represents a fearless and aggressive style of cricket. His success with the Indian side has not been consistent and he has had a stop-start career. Hence he has still not cemented his place in the team. At the World Twenty20, he was India’s top scorer with 227 runs. This Delhi opener will look to make most of any opportunities that come his way.
