Gautam become GAMBHIR without Sehwag
Saturday, September 19, 2009
Back in the national team after missing the tri-series in Sri Lanka, India's Gautam
Gambhir said his opening partner Virender Sehwag's absence will play in his mind.
Both have a tremendous rapport, both on and off the field. So he becomes GAMBHIR (Senicere).
Statistics shows Gambhir is not his usual self when Sehwag is not at the other end. In the Twenty20 World Cup in England this June, where Sehwag was out of fray, Gambhir could only manage 148 runs from five innings at an average of 29.60.
The Arjuna Award winner Gambhir has 2594 runs from 78 one-day matches with six hundreds and an average of 37.59.
In the ODI career Gautam Gambhir did open the innings for 51 times and 25 of them with his Delhi met Sehwag.
Both have added 1410 runs in these 25 matches @58.75 with four hundred and six half centuries stand.
There are 6 other batsmen with whom Gambhir opened the innings but never got similar success. He have added 148 runs with Sourav Ganguly (2 matches) and 146 runs with Sachin Tendulkar (12 matches).
Here are the details of Gambhir’s partners in ODI.
