Records put pressure on me, says Gambhir
Submitted by Sukhdeep Grewal on Thu, 01/21/2010 - 17:33.In contrast to Sachin Tendulkar, who completed his 44th Test ton in Chittagong, Gautam Gambhir’s nine tons are not a statistician’s delight. But then, eight of them have come in the last 10 Tests he has played since October 2008. Better still, Wednesday’s was his fifth ton in five Tests since April 2009 and is one short of Sir Don Bradman’s six-in-six.
“I never play for records, they put pressure on me. So, I did not think of Bradman’s record and I won’t think about it while playing the next match. I’m looking forward to performing against South Africa,” he said.
Gambhir’s amazing consistency not only won him the ICC Test Player-of-the-Year award last year, it also secured his berth in the team.

India will have to play the waiting game
Submitted by Sukhdeep Grewal on Thu, 11/26/2009 - 15:25.
Gautam Ganbhir is on a roll and has now established himself well in the Indian line-up. His two big centuries in the two Tests show how deserving he is for the ICC Test Player of the Year award. When he started his career, his problems were twin-fold. He had a tendency to reach out to the ball outside the off-stump and at other times fell across the stumps while trying to play on the onside. The former led to many dismissals behind the wicket and the latter invariably caught him plumb in front. Now Gambhir has compacted his game, plays much closer to his body and the results are there for all to see.
