GAMBHIR CAN BE TEST CAPTAIN
by damodaran mohan on Sep 21, 2011 01:14 PM

The ever smiling Balaji is very much missed in the national side with his spells of swinging balls.Now of course he is over the hill.One observation on Gambhir I agree with him is that Gambhir sets very good field.Not just in IPL but in the series against NZ Gambhir's field setting was brilliant.Although Dhoni for the present is doing a good job as Captain, however in case BCCI plans for different captains for all three versions then Gambhir can be considered for the TEST version.Dhoni can be captain for One dayers and T20 versions.I am not sure if Dhoni makes it to TEST eleven.

am sure even in this CL T20
by R A on Sep 21, 2011 04:51 AM

gambhir will be back after KKR has qualified after the initial stages....And then kkr will start losing...BTW, highest Gambhirs team has ranked in head to head comparison with dhonis team is 4th in this IPL vs Dhoni winning 2 IPLS and 1 CLT20....Till such time ...gambhir should just learn how to take simple catches and not get injured by them.

by R A on Sep 21, 2011 04:47 AM

Forget matching dhonis record as captain which no other cricketer can do --why doesnt Gambhir start by winning 1 championship ---ipl , cl, ranji, ...whatever.

Balaji or Gambhir
by Muhammed on Sep 20, 2011 11:22 PM

who has the GUTS to win overseas test series (against a strong opposition); Also the players are mediocre, hence they can only think of some one performing in IPL or 20/20 Masala matches as their Leader. These guys don't understand what it takes to be a Kapil dev or Imran Khan! Lucky that nowadays these cricketers are paid in millions, they are not even worth few lakhs.

Balaji is right...make Gambhir the captain..even world cup final Gambhir played the best knock under pressure.... but it was sadly dhoni is given credit by few.... Dhoni's days are up now.... time for Gambhir to take over... n please keep Parthiv in team... he will do better than Dhoni.... definitely in Test matches....

Whos he by the way?

Yet another immature statement from a not yet proven player to the press. Why would he have to compare one individual to other? Even given that Gauti may be a great captain, is it not foolish on part of KKR to let someone like Balaji (yet to make his mark in the Indian team) to make this statement?. Its a disgrace for both Gambhir and Dhoni.

Balaji is trying to lick him all over for his sustenance
no way to compare Dhoni with Gambhir. Gambhir plays for himself and not for team utterly selfish

Ha ha... Thats true.. that knock that he played in Worldcup final was for himself. Not for the team. Such a selfish player Gambhir. But the six that Dhoni hit was for the team and did not add to his score at all.. everyone shld learn from Dhoni :-)

Now u stop licking Dhoni! ;-)

Dhoni had a great knock...but to say that Gambhir didnt do a tremendous job is ridiculous...may all Indian batsman be as selfish as Gambhir that day ! He came in when India had lost their star openers. Both Virat and Gambhir and then Gambhir and Dhoni did a great job for India. Gambhir was the man of the match that day !! If he had scored his century he would have got the MoM award...that shows how fickle minded the judges usually are.
