Gautam Gambhir – The first and foremost player to watch out for is the comeback man Gautam Gambhir who has been making the headlines from past many months now. Every series he plays from now is a do or die series for him, one mistake and he is out from the team. He is surely in his last years of his career and availability of the abundance of alternative sources is a threat to him.
He is the biggest player to watch out for in the series and if in any case, he fails; he will not be part of the team anymore making way for others. The success of team India depends heavily upon Gautam Gambhir as he will have a responsibility to provide a good start to the team along with his opening partner Murali Vijay. Gambhir, in his past home series against England, scored a total of 251 runs at an average of 41.83 with two half-centuries to his name. He will be looking to churn out profits from second chance provided to him.
