It's tough to be in the position that Gautam Gambhir finds himself in at present. Dropped from the team post the 2014 England tour, the 34-year-old has tried to get back into the scheme into things and finally it seems it slowly getting back into the groove.
The left-hander has been perhaps the best batsman, having made four consecutive 50+ scores, that included two 90s in the Duleep Trophy and those exploits with the bat raised optimism for a recall to the longer format of the game.
But it didn’t prove to be the case as the selectors decided to stick on to Shikhar Dhawan for the series against New Zealand. But there is no doubting that if the Delhi cricketer continues to perform on the circuit, he could soon be a contender for a place in the national squad.
