However, the Kolkata Knight Riders skipper and Team India’s opener Gautam Gambhir has said in an interview that he see no difference in playing against Pakistan or Bangladesh or Australia.
Cricketer Gautam Gambhir has had on-field run-ins with Pakistani cricketers, including the feisty Shahid Afridi.
While talking to media, he said, “For me, Pakistan is no different from Bangladesh, Australia or New Zealand. The main thing is that you are playing for your country and that in itself is a big motivation.”
Gambhir was talking to media after his office team ONGC beat Rajnigandha Club at Modern School ground (Barakhamba Road) in the Lala Raghubir Hot Weather tournament
Soon after his team KKR won the IPL 2012, he said in an interview that he is ready for captaincy, but now he said, “That’s for selectors to decide.”
The Indian cricket team is set to play 10 test matches including four against England and Australia each and two against New Zealand. Gambhir said, “This break from cricket will act as a positive for us. We will be able to come back fresh with better fitness. We have the talent and we have to get back to No 1 ranking in Tests.”
“In international cricket, doing well in one department isn’t good enough. We need to work hard and improve in all three departments of the game,” said Gautam Gambhir.
