#4 International Comeback and Retirement (2016-18)
Gambhir was performing consistently in the domestic circuit. He was rewarded with the comeback to Indian test squad in the third Test against New Zealand in Indore in 2016. He scored a 56-ball 50 in the second innings of that match.
In the first test against England in Rajkot, he failed to perform with the bat. He scored less than 30 runs in both the innings. After that, he was dropped from India's playing XI.
He was a consistent performer for Delhi in domestic formats. He led his team to the finals of 2018-19 Vijay Hazare Trophy but was defeated by Mumbai. He stepped down as Delhi's captain before the start of the 2018-19 Ranji Trophy on 5 November 2018 and was replaced by Nitish Rana.
He announced his retirement from all forms of cricket on 4 December 2018. He scored 10324 runs in 242 international matches with 9 Test centuries and 11 ODI centuries.
