Gautam Gambhir wishes his only idol on his birthday!

It is quite normal to expect that a cricketer would name the likes of Sobers, Richards, Gavaskar or Sachin as his hero when asked to name his role model. However, it is not the case with Indian opener Gautam Gambhir. Time and again, he has said that freedom fighter is his only idol. In fact, the southpaw is so inspired by his idol that he has expressed his desire of being reincarnated as his idol.

In 2010, he revealed that Bhagat Singh is his idol and admitted that reading about the martyr fills him with energy and power.

“He is my idol. When you read these kinds of books, you get more energy and power. I just love Bhagat Singh,” Gambhir had said.

And the Delhi batsman has once again shown his love for Shaheed-E-Azam Bhagat Singh. The whole nation is celebrating the 109th birth anniversary of Bhagat Singh and Gambhir took to Twitter to post a beautiful message for his idol. The batsman posted:” To my only idol, my only mentor, my only hero Bhagat Singh….I bow to ur courage of conviction n wish I had even a fraction of that!”

Another cricketer, who is highly active on Twitter, Virender Sehwag also posted a message for the freedom fighter. He tweeted:” Tributes to #ShaheedBhagatSingh, a revolutionary wid rarest compassion. Legends like him shud be celebrated every day.”
