Virender Sehwag has said Gambhir is now called "the rock" in the Indian Team. So now there is a wall and a rock. Gautam Gambhir has really played outstanding cricket and today he very nearly equalled the record of Sir Donald Bradman!!
Five 100s in 5 tests is a magnificent achievement and not one that is repeated everyday.. So credit must go the Delhi batsman. He is now such an important player in Team India's ranks. Considering what he was 5 years ago,it must be said that Gambhir has really matured and mixed it with performance.
Earlier he was tentative on the off side but he is more of a put-the-loose-balls-away type. Still one could see him tabbing the ball to third man area now and then which is one of his productive areas.
Truly his partnership with Virender Sehwag is excellent and definitely they are best openers now. Running between the wickets has significantly improved and India certainly benefits from it.
Gambhir can still break another legend Sir Vivian Richards' record for consecutive fifties and let us hope he does so!
