Great ton skipper gambhir

He needed it, for more reasons than one. Its good to see him back to old dominating self. When Gautam scores big runs, you can pretty mucgh guarantee that it will invariably lead to a win. He's that kind of player. He takes it upon himself to make sure he's done enough to help the team win. Whether he does that by scoring a 140, or 40, is pretty immaterial to him. And that has been the most refreshing change in Indian cricket over the last few years.

Well played Gautam & Kohli too contributed guys i dont think murali vijay is capable of playing odis may be is good in tests but in odis i feel he hasnt done anything to justify his place.

Somehow GG as our skipper does not quite fit. Nothing against him but I just don't think he is captaincy material. (No logic to support this, just random thoughts.)

I think if Gambhir is given captaincy for a long run, we'll see that he has an extremely short shelf life. He looks with the last 2 ODIs and the couple of DD matches I watched to be a captain who takes it upon himself to prove that somehow he is the paragon of responsibility and even spoke quite angrily about the other batsmen in a DD match if I remember correctly. The additional burden might keep him going for some time but not for very long, imo. Coming back to the topic, excellent ton. Amazingly clinical and left nothing (ok, almost nothing) to chance. Hopefully, it'll relax his state of mind and spur him onto great things in SA.
