#5 Prior experience of performing at the highest level
The present Indian Test team is a relatively young unit as most of them have been around for just about 4 to 5 years. Gautam Gambhir, in contrast, is on the verge of completing 12 years in the Test arena and has a number of great achievements under his belt in the format.
In 57 Tests, the left-hander has scored more than 4000 runs at an average of over 42 with 9 centuries and 22 fifties. He has also played numerous brilliant knocks for India and successfully tackled the trickiest of conditions in both home and away Tests.
The wealth of experience that Gautam Gambhir possesses can prove to be quite beneficial to the team’s cause as the younger batsmen can pick up a thing or two from the senior statesman. This is why it may be worth a try for the Indian team management to persist with the services of Gambhir and see how things pan out.
