Sachinism Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Sehwag needs to chill with the praises for Gambhir 1st compared to Dravid and now Gavaskar lol Link to comment
Feed Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 There is so much more to achieve: Gambhir Gautam Gambhir may have come of age during the tour to New Zealand but the diminutive opener is not willing to be distracted by the new-found stardom. More... Link to comment
Deleted_User_1 Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Triumphant Team India returns to a tumultuous welcome More... Gimme a break, SMG is the best test opener period! He is a proven run machine and has scored against the mighty WI without a helmet. GG has a long way to go. Link to comment

King Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Sehwag has so far compared Gambhir to "The Wall" and "The original little master". Both high praise and now it is bloody hard to live up to that bill. I hope Gambhir doesn't get carried away and play like the "The Wall" or the "Little Master". He is way more positive batsman than the other two and can do good if he carries on in the same vein. Link to comment
ViruRulez Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Gambhir is a great batsman no doubt but he has hardly played enough cricket to be compared to even the wall leave apart Gavaskar ... but he has the potential no doubt but it would have to be seen if he is consistent Link to comment
vipin Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Gambhir is a great batsman no doubt but he has hardly played enough cricket to be compared to even the wall leave apart Gavaskar ... but he has the potential no doubt but it would have to be seen if he is consistent IMO The Wall > Gavaskar Link to comment

bharat297 Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Pretty simple ... Gambhir is from Delhi and Gavaskar (who was obviously just a quota player at that time) is from Mumbai Link to comment
amits Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 amits' date=' could u lei us know ur yardsticks of comparisions?[/quote'] as i always make 100% geniune posts, so i will give this 1 as well - overall career batting avg - gambhir - 54.07 dravid - 52.53 gavaskar - 51.12 :hysterical: @ all those who think that 52.53 > 54.07 & 51.12 > 54.07 this proves that gambhir is better than dravid & gavaskar. also, gambhir has a better away record as well Link to comment
amits Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Pretty simple ... Gambhir is from Delhi and Gavaskar (who was obviously just a quota player at that time) is from Mumbai gavaskar was never a quota-player. he was 1 of the best batsman of his time Link to comment

Does that make him better than Dravid ? Dude u need to revisit your techniques of Comparisions. Edit:Incase u had a Brain Cell Damage /Malfunction i mentioned Dravid's first 25 Tests in comparision to Gambhir's only 25. Link to comment
