Yes Rohit is invaluable in the slips

 

He also helps boost the moral of the slip corden through his cooling presence too (some players make others around them more nervous)

Also don’t forget advice to the bowler as he has the Birds Eye view of the pitch :nice:

They should have given to either Bumrah or Jaddu also.Gambhir got it but why?

If Saif Ali Khan got it, I would assume Gambhir has more cred for playing 2 match winning finals knocks, being somewhat of a successful coach and being more than a decent international cricketer . Why are you so shocked?

Even Karan Johar, Kangana, Ekta Kapoor have Padma Shri. Some genuine deserving folks get it, but lot of politics is involved.

He was not a coach in 2019 when he got it.If GG got it then why has been Mohinder Amarnath  left out.Amarnath was better player than GG . Amarnath was MOM in both semifinals and finals.

 

If doing well in world cup finals is benchmark.

So because Amarnath didn’t get it, Gambhir shouldn’t? Ps: surprised Mohinder Amarnath doesn’t have it and I agree he deserves :nice:

What was the critieria.I am not opposed to him getting it.If players like him got it then lot of players in past should get it too.Vinoo Mankad, Vijay Hazre ,Chandra., Bedi.

 

Otherwise it is just a political award.

They gave it to dhoni in 2009 think because he won the t20i wc.

Gambhir was top run getter in the final, was test cricketer of the year in 2009, top run getter in 2011 finals

Dhoni you can understand, he was a captain and best wk in the world for long period of time in odis and was very good in tests too.

 

Gambhir has 9 test 100s.

Not sure Dhoni was best wk in the world , he was v.good with spin but with pace he was ordinary -- Same time Hadin/saga were good on both.

 

yeah gambhir conversion rate is not that good 9 ton and 22 fifties , didnt play that many tests , rohit even after being able to secure a spot late in his career has more game than gambhir think kl and vijay has may have equal or more games than him

Dhoni was best WK in odis for period of time.Haddin was not in the same league as Dhoni , nor was Sanga in odis. 

 

It is not the case with Gambhir.
