India's 2007 World T20 Winning Team: Where are they now? 

#2 Gautam Gambhir

Gautam Gambhir, the unsung hero of India's victory in the 2007 World T20, entered the best phase of his career in the period following the tournament. He performed extremely well across formats for the next few years and played several memorable innings, such as his marathon knock in Napier and his match-winning 97 in the 2011 ICC World Cup final.

However, after the 2011 World Cup, Gambhir's form went into an extreme downward spiral and he was dropped from the Indian team in 2012/13. Despite making sporadic comebacks to the Indian test team in 2014 and 2016, Gambhir could not hold onto his place and was almost immediately dropped.

Despite highs and lows in his international career, Gambhir remained a consistent performer for many years, turning out for the Delhi Daredevils in the first three seasons and the Kolkata Knight Riders for the next seven, leading them to two IPL titles along the way. However, in 2018, on his return to the Delhi Daredevils, he failed to perform both as a batsman and as a captain.

Thus, after leading the Daredevils to only one win in the first six games of the season, Gambhir resigned as captain and effectively dropped himself from the side. Following that season, he was released by the Delhi Daredevils.

On 4th December 2018, Gautam Gambhir announced his retirement from all forms of professional cricket, and the cricketing world is looking forward to seeing what is in store for his second innings.
