On form, Gambhir should open for us in Champions Trophy.

[Austin 3:!6]

I understand the age factor and other baggage's Gambhir brings with him, but purely on form he should be first name on the list as an opener.

 

Rohit struggling

Rahul injured

Dhawan average.

 

Thoughts?

[rkt.india]

He always does well in IPL. Fails in international.

[beetle]

CT is in England.

[Lord]

Gambhir n Rahane if we go by IPL

[Mosher]

No. We already have enough oldies in the team.

[The Realist]

Big no. His previous Eng tours have been shocking, could barely buy a run.

 

Don't understand the obsession with recycling yesterday's men, already have two OAPs blocking youth in the current ODI team.

[speedheat]

Just no ttfs please, we are not Pakistan we need to take step forward not backword

[Ankit_sharma03]

We already have yuvi, jadhav, ashwin, bumrah, mishra now add this guy in field. 

Gambhir always does well in IPl, In IPL rohit n raina have been so consitent does that happen in international. 

There is still lot of time before CT, ill rather take pant n kishen n have them fail then take gambhir 

 

CT is on eng pitches and gambo will dance n poke

[Ankit_sharma03]

Take bhajji,uthappa,dhawal also.....they also do well in IPL

He is probably the worst Indian batsman on English pitches, the absolute worst. Remember his previous tours there, he could hardly middle a ball, let alone score a run. Even Ishant, Shami  are more accomplished batsmen than him on those pitches. Please no, no, no  ... forget it.

[BeautifulGame]

How does that work out in the England tests ?

 

 

[Sidhoni]

Him playing under Kohli will be some entertainment though

 

 

[BCCI]

Yes and captain the team as well

This is bad as picking Khatmal lol

Gambhir is greater than almost every batsman produced by pakistan ever, pakistanis should refrain from making comments on Indian batsman as you guys are clearly clueless about batting, lol at even thinking about comparing Gambhir with khatmal

[Austin 3:!6]

Rohit's poor form made this thread even more valid. In our opening match vs Pakistan, he wont last 2 balls of Shadab Khan looking at the way he is struggling against leggies. That ofcourse if he can survive the opening spell of Amir-Junaid.

[ipl is fun]

>We already have yuvi, jadhav, ashwin, bumrah, mishra now add this guy in field. 

you need to add MSD to the list 

[GautiMaan]

Always thought he was dropped unfairly in ODI's,yes tests the criticism is valid especially last few years but in ODI's he was very good for us.
