Cricketers XI with their birthday on 14 October

#2 Gautam Gambhir

Gambhir recently made a comeback into the Indian Test side

Gautam Gambhir, one of India’s finest openers of all time, was born in Delhi on 14 October 1981. Since making his international debut in 2003, Gambhir was always among the most talented batsmen in the Indian team but his career hit a purple patch between the years 2007 and 2011 where he excelled in all three formats.

But things started to go south for the southpaw post that and he has strived hard to get back into the national side ever since. Gautam Gambhir’s effort seems to have finally paid off, though, as he made a comeback into the Test team in the recently concluded series against New Zealand.
