New Delhi. This retired player is currently in the dugout of IPL, but the attitude is the same. Recently people saw a glimpse of it again. By the way, this player was so disappointed that he was about to stay away from cricket 16 years ago. We are talking about Gautam Gambhir. Like his name, as a serious cricketer, he won many titles, but his career was in the limelight because of all the hot talks.
Gautam Gambhir, who won the IPL title twice under his captaincy to Kolkata Knight Riders, is the mentor of Lucknow Super Giants. Recently, in the match between Lucknow-Bangalore, people saw his fight with Virat Kohli. There is no shortage in attitude from anywhere. Even before this, Gambhir and Kohli have come face to face on the field. Who can forget his clash with Shahid Afridi. There was a time when Gambhir was disappointed despite performing well in the field. Actually, he was not getting a chance in the team.
were disappointed
Gautam Gambhir was very disappointed for not being selected in the Under-19 World Cup team. In the year 2003, he was not even selected in the ODI World Cup team. The same happened with the left-handed opener in 2007 as well. Gautam Gambhir, who entered the world of cricket with the dream of winning the World Cup, was so disheartened by this neglect that he started thinking of hanging his bat on a peg.
However, only then came the call to play the 2007 T20 World Cup. Got a chance but Gambhir got out for zero in the very first match. After this, what feat did Gambhir do… don’t ask. Under the leadership of Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Team India won the 2007 T20 World Cup and the 2011 ODI World Cup. Both were serious top scorers in the final of the tournament.
