Gambhir began his county career last month itself but wasn\u2019t looking in great touch earlier. He ended up with scores of 31, 21, 2 and 0 in the first four matches after he scored a ton in his fifth match.<\/p>\n<p>Gambhir has been dropped after the ODI series against England, as he wasn\u2019t able to score on consistent basis from the past couple of years. A bout of jaundice after that didn&#8217;t help his cause either.<\/p>\n<p>He was not even selected for the Champions Trophy, the tri-series in the West Indies and the ODI tour of Zimbabwe, which gave a clear indication that he needs to pull up his socks and need to play some out of the box knocks in upcoming domestic season to get back into the national squad.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" alignleft size-full wp-image-4634\" style=\"margin-right: 6px; margin-left: 6px; float: left;\" alt=\"gautam-gambhir\" src=\"https:\/\/indiansportsnews.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/gautam-gambhir.jpg\" height=\"200\" width=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/indiansportsnews.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/gautam-gambhir.jpg 200w, https:\/\/indiansportsnews.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/gautam-gambhir-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/>London:<\/strong> Gautam Gambhir had to alter his county season mid-way, as he returned home due to some personal reasons.
