Gambhir the captain
“It is important to not let your teammates see that you are nervous if you are the captain,” said Gautam Gambhir recently. His ice-cool temperament has reaped benefits as his team play without any fear, all thanks to the same approach taken by their captain.
Even if his team is losing or facing insurmountable odds, Gautam’s face is as serene as that of Gautama Buddha, his namesake. Against Punjab, he showed his capabilities as a batsman as well as a captain.
Playing an innings of 34 runs in 34 balls, he kept the scoreboard ticking, while he surprised Punjab by giving 7 bowlers the chance to bowl. Even dangerman, Andre Russell was given the ball only in the last over. It worked wonders though as the opposition could only manage 138.
