New Delhi [India], October 14 (ANI): The cricket fraternity extended birthday wishes to India head coach Gautam Gambhir, who turned 44 on Tuesday. His special occasion became much more memorable after India trounced the West Indies with a seven-wicket win, sweeping the series 2-0 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, his home venue.
Known for his memorable performances, especially in times of crisis, Gambhir served India as one of its most prolific opening batters, partnering with Virender Sehwag to cause mayhem for bowlers at the top of the order. From his international debut in 2003 till his retirement in 2016, Gambhir wore India's white Test colours on 58 occasions, scoring 4,154 runs at an average of 41.95, with nine centuries and 22 fifties in 106 innings and a best score of 206.
