One of the finest Indian cricketers of his generation, Gautam Gambhir is the man who was at the center of India's triumphs as the 2007 ICC World T20 and the 2011 World Cup finals. Gambhi's contributions were crucial to India's success in the two marquee events. But, there are those who feel his performances, especially in the 2011 World Cup, aren't given the credit they deserve. In an interview, Gambhir said that he has no qualms over his own contributions being ignored as the objective was India winning the World Cup, which the team accomplished.
India's squad for the Asia Cup 2023 has received a mixed reaction, with a section of fans and experts pointing out the apparent 'flaws' that exist in the team. Highlighting one of the problem areas in the team, former India star Gautam Gambhir asserted the need to have a proper backup for Hardik Pandya. Though Shardul Thakur has shown over time how productive he can be with the bat, Gambhir doesn't think he is the ideal backup for Hardik. The former India opening batter, instead, wanted Shivam Dube to have gotten the nod.

However, former opener Gautam Gambhir completely dismissed the idea and said that the focus ahead of Asia Cup and ICC World Cup 2023 should be on quality and not on quantity. He added that it is important to choose players on merit and not on any other criteria.
On this day in 2008, a young and flamboyant Virat Kohli donned the Indian national team's jersey for the first time, making his debut against Sri Lanka in an ODI match. Years on, Kohli has gone on to cement his place in the Indian cricketing spectrum as an absolute leader, who isn't too far away from breaking some of the biggest records held in the game, especially by his idol Sachin Tendulkar. As Kohli reaches a historic milestone, his fans celebrated the landmark moment on social media, as #15YearsOfKingKohli started to trend on X (formerly Twitter).
On this day in 2008, young Virat Kohli first entered the international arena, making his debut against Sri Lanka in an ODI match. Just a few months prior to the Sri Lanka series, Virat had just etched his name in history books by leading India to the ICC U19 Cricket World Cup trophy and just like a lot of U19 captains in the past, had made a strong case for donning the Indian cap in future, scoring 235 runs in six matches at an average of 47.00, with one century against West Indies in group stages.
