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 candidate for the opening slot in the Indian side. His solid footwork, high bat-lift and a bravely young approach confused bowlers more than once as vigilant defense was substituted by the aerial route over point. With his small build and shy attitude, Gambhir represents a fearless and aggressive style of cricket.At the end of what promises to be a successful career, the 2007-08 season could well be noted as the turning point in Gautam Gambhir's career. When changes were called for in the wake of a disastrous 2007 World Cup, Gambhir found himself back in favour in the shorter versions. The ICC World Twenty20 greatly enhanced his reputation on the global phase, as Gambhir notched up runs consistently, scoring three half-centuries, including a composed 75 in a high-pressure final against Pakistan. His capability to soak up pressure, run hard between the wickets, and mould his approach according to the team needs were further in evidence during the triangular CB Series in Australia, where he scored two high-quality centuries,He was also instrumental in guiding Delhi to their first Ranji Trophy title in 16 years, scoring a hundred in the final as captain, and was among the leading run-scorers in the IPL |
