J P K Posted September 7, 2011 Posted September 7, 2011 His chances of playing in the Champions League T20 seems pretty bleak but Gautam Gambhir will take a final call on his participation latest by next Sunday, according to sources. Gambhir, had to return from England as he has been suffering from concussions due to a nasty fall while running backwards to take a catch and has been advised complete rest by the doctors as of now. Gambhir captained Kolkata Knight Riders to the last four stage in the fourth edition of IPL and was expected to lead the side. "Gautam will be consulting his doctor (neurologist) on September 9 or 10 and decide on his participation in the tournament," a senior KKR official said on Monday. Since Gambhir has had difficulty in sighting the ball of late and even threw up during his return flight to India, KKR management won't push the star opener for the tournament. "It will entirely be Gautam and his doctor's call. We can't say anything at the moment," the official added. If sources in the KKR management are to be believed, the franchise won't push the cricketer into playing even if he recovers in time as it might invite sharp criticism from all quarters especially after so many Indian players returned home from tour of England. http://sports.ndtv.com/cricket/news/item/178045-gambhir-to-take-final-call-on-clt20-by-sunday
WC2011INDIA Posted September 7, 2011 Posted September 7, 2011 Really? He is still debating whether he wants to play in CLT20 after injuring himself 2-3 times in the past 6 months. :facepalm:
Trichromatic Posted September 7, 2011 Posted September 7, 2011 If there is even 1% doubt in his mind then he shouldn't play. It's a good chance to take break and recover fully.

yadhav500 Posted September 7, 2011 Posted September 7, 2011 which crowd? :asleep: Why do you ask like that? We all love Gauti.
saneindian Posted September 7, 2011 Posted September 7, 2011 A huge PR disaster it will be if GG decides to play Clt20. The number of injuries he has had recently, rest for 3-4 weeks is what he needs the most right now along with a rigourous training program to get back to his peak fitness. Also this is the time for him to start piling on the runs again so that it gives us a better alternative in case MSD's bad form continues.

james Posted September 7, 2011 Posted September 7, 2011 Ofcourse he will play, it's all about the Ž£Ž£Ž£Ž£Ž£Ž£Ž£Ž£Ž£Ž£Ž£
Pagalpanti Posted September 7, 2011 Posted September 7, 2011 Don't doubt his integrity, remember he played in the test with concussion, says a lot about his character. :hatsoff: I hope though that he skips it, we need him for the return Eng ODI series and full WI home series. Needs to get amongst runs ahead of Australian tour.
Laaloo Posted September 13, 2011 Posted September 13, 2011 Gambhir to miss Champions League qualifier Gautam Gambhir will not play in the upcoming Champions League Twenty20 qualifying tournament for Kolkata Knight Riders as he has not recovered sufficiently from the concussion he sustained during India's fourth Test against England at The Oval. Jacques Kallis will lead the team in Gambhir's absence. A Kolkata official told ESPNcricinfo that Gambhir, who is the captain of the side, may still recover in time for the main tournament, should the team make it through the qualifier, which will be played from September 19 to 21. Gambhir was sent home from the tour of England earlier this month after hitting his head on the ground while falling back attempting to catch Kevin Pietersen on the third day of the final Test at The Oval during England's first innings. He was advised complete rest for ten days along with medication that should help him recover faster. He has been monitored by doctors since his return and ESPNcricinfo understands that while Gambhir has made significant progress and can perform day-to-day tasks with no sign of his symptoms, the doctor has recommended he begin training gradually. Kolkata are therefore hopeful that if they are one of the top three teams, Gambhir would then have had another 12 or 13 days to recover and train and will be ready for their potential first game in the league stage on September 25. http://www.espncricinfo.com/champions-league-twenty20-2011/content/current/story/532268.html Bummer!! Looks like he will play CL after all :cantstop:
Trichromatic Posted September 13, 2011 Posted September 13, 2011 Full IPL, CLT20 only 2 tests :cantstop: :two_thumbs_up:
kevinpp24 Posted September 13, 2011 Posted September 13, 2011 Full IPL, CLT20 only 2 tests :cantstop: :two_thumbs_up: Still half fit in both those tests :hehe:
jeeves Posted September 13, 2011 Posted September 13, 2011 Gambhir not to take part in CL qualifiers Gautam Gambhir will not play in the upcoming Champions League Twenty20 qualifying tournament for Kolkata Knight Riders as he has not recovered sufficiently from the concussion he sustained during India's fourth Test against England at The Oval. Jacques Kallis will lead the team in Gambhir's absence.

He was advised complete rest for ten days along with medication. Since his return, Gambhir has been consulting a leading neurologist in New Delhi, and while the doctor has been happy with the progress he has made - Gambhir can perform day-to-day tasks with no trouble - the player has been advised to start physical training gradually. Kolkata are hopeful that if they go through to the main tournament, Gambhir would then have had another week to recover and be ready for their potential first game in the main stage on September 25. Venky Mysore, Kolkata's chief executive, said in a statement that "the decision to play was completely left to Gautam and his doctors and hoped he would make a quick return to the game". Kolkata will also be without the services of Eoin Morgan - who is due to have shoulder surgery - and potentially, Brad Haddin, who will be playing in Australia's third Test against Sri Lanka which begins in Colombo on September 16.

So he wont be able to play the qualifiers but still might magically recover for the main tournament which is after 4 days :giggle: jai ho CL God.
yadhav500 Posted September 13, 2011 Posted September 13, 2011 Hope Gauti will somehow recover to play all CL matches...
TheYuvi02 Posted September 13, 2011 Posted September 13, 2011 :yay: hope he will play CL and then take time off the next tours to allow himself to be fit for next ipl
