Gautam Gambhir prefers to watch hockey ahead of cricket and football!

Gautam Gambhir will be a relieved man now. The southpaw made a sensational comeback to the Indian Test team after a two-year hiatus during the New Zealand series and also got the chance to play during the third Test. While he definitely would have wanted to make more of an impact during the match but the team-man he is he always prefers the team over individuals. After failing to convert a good start into a big score in the first innings, he had  a chance to make amends in the second innings when he was batting on 50. But with the team needing quick runs he went for an ambitious shot that resulted in his downfall. But he surely made a huge impact and the fact that he made that quickfire 50 after injuring his shoulder is a further proof that he is the ultimate team man.

Currently, in Delhi, the batsman is spending some quality time with his family. In an interview with the Hindustan Times, he said that he loves films and is a complete family man.

“I love watching movies. I am a big movie buff. It’s been a while since I saw any movie because I was busy with Duleep Trophy but the last one I saw was Sultan. I have a young two-year-old daughter as well and I spend a lot of time with her when I am at home . She is growing up quickly and is constantly doing new stuff so it is great to unwind with her. I spend time with my friends and we go out for dinners,” Gambhir said.

Never the one to mince words, Gambhir also made an interesting revelation about himself. The 2011 World Cup final hero revealed that he loves to watch hockey more than football and cricket.

“I am very passionate about Indian hockey. Obviously, I watched all their games at the Olympics. They played reasonably well and though they didn’t win a medal, the graph is going upwards. Where hockey was in 1980’s, I hope India can go to the same level even now. If there is hockey or football and cricket on my television, I prefer to watch hockey.”
