ofcourse we have seen him in IPL! Cant guess or what? :haha:
Dude IPL is a domestic T20 Tournament which involves Foreign players, nothing more or nothing less. Dude World Stage != IPL, why is Nayar being brought into this, they can't be fighting for the same position in the Team, Nayar is an all-rounder, whereas Kohli is a Middle Order Batsmen. But seriously dude, IPL != World Stage. I wouldn't call it a circus as many here prefer to, but its not very high on my priority list.

Gambhir declared fit 17 September 2009 India’s opening batsman Gautam Gambhir has been declared fit to play in the ICC Champions Trophy by the Board of Control for Cricket in India. Left-handed batsman Gambhir suffered a groin injury during a domestic match last month and aggravated the injury during training on the eve of India’s first match against New Zealand in the Compaq Cup in Colombo. Gambhir was advised rest for 10 days and returned home, while Virat Kohli took his place in the side for the triangular one-day series. Gambhir underwent rehabilitation at the National Cricket Academy in Bangalore and was pronounced fit after trials in Mumbai today. Captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni said he was pleased with Gambhir’s recovery. “It’s a relief that Gambhir is back because he solves the problem of opening,” Dhoni said. “We have had three players in the opening slot – Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag and Gambhir - but with Sehwag out due to injury the opening pair has been a problem. Now that Gambhir is fit, it augurs well for us.” India are due to leave tomorrow for Johannesburg and will take on Pakistan in their first match on September 26.

Well' date=' isn’t Sehwag coming into the squad too? If both Viru and GG are fit, I don’t see how Dravid can retain his place in the side.[/quote'] Haven't read reports of Sehwag returning to the Squad, Yes if both Viru and Gauti are fit, Dravid will probably have to be benched, but in case either one misses out, it should be an automatic entry into the middle order for RD.
