Gautam Gambhir’s life, in past few days, has been none less than a fairy tale story. First, he gets a surprise call to lead a Duleep trophy squad followed by four half centuries, missing on a century twice. He hopes of being selected in the India team but was not selected. He vents his anger on Twitter, gets noticed, KL Rahul injure himself, Gambhir rushes to Bangalore for a fitness test and lands in the Indian cricket team for the Test series. Boom! That is a total merry go round for Gautam Gambhir.
But wait a surprise awaits for Gautam Gambhir on the other end of the wall, as looking at plans the field and some actions, it looks like Shikhar Dhawan will be selected for the second Test match and Gambhir will warm the bench for the second Test match at his second ‘Home’ i.e. Eden Gardens.
We have found a video in which we can clearly see Anil Kumble bowling to out of form batsman Shikhar Dhawan. This can be taken in that sense which still haunts many of the Gauti fans, yes there are fair chances of Shikhar Dhawan getting a go ahead of Gautam Gambhir. The probable reason can be that Gautam Gambhir does not have good tuning with the Test captain Virat Kohli and the second reason can be his age as he already 35-years old.
The video and the current status clearly indicate that it will be Shikhar Dhawan who will play the second Test match with Gambhir continuing to warm the bench for the second Test match.
The video will give you a clear indication which supports our case that why Shikhar Dhawan will play ahead of Gautam Gambhir?
