Gautam Gambhir ( pronunciation (help·info); born 14 October 1981) is an Indian

politician and former cricketer, who has played all formats of the game. He is a current
member of the Lok Sabha since 2019.
As a cricketer, he was a left-handed opening batsman who played domestic cricket
for Delhi, and captained Kolkata Knight Riders and Delhi Daredevils in the Indian
Premier League (IPL). He made his One Day International (ODI) debut
against Bangladesh in 2003, and played his first Test the following year
against Australia. He captained the Indian team in six ODIs from late 2010 to late 2011
with India winning all six matches. He played an integral part in India's wins in the finals
of both the 2007 World Twenty20 (75 runs from 54 balls) and the 2011 Cricket World
Cup (97 from 122). Under Gambhir's captaincy, Kolkata Knight Riders won their first IPL
title in 2012 and went on to win the title again in 2014.
Gambhir was the only Indian and one of four international cricketers to have scored
hundreds in five consecutive Test matches. [1] He is the only Indian batsman to have
scored more than 300 runs in four consecutive Test series. As of April 2018, he is the
sixth highest run-scorer for India in Twenty20 Internationals.[2] He was conferred
the Arjuna Award, India's second highest sporting award, in the year 2008 by the
President of India.[3] In 2009, he was the number one ranked batsman in ICC Test
rankings.[4][5] The same year, he was the recipient of the ICC Test Player of the
Year award. In 2019, he received the Padma Shri from the Government of India, the
fourth highest civilian award in India.[6][7]
In October 2018, during the quarter-finals of the 2018–19 Vijay Hazare Trophy, he
scored his 10,000th run in List A cricket.[8] In December 2018, he announced his
retirement from all forms of cricket.[9]
In 2019, he joined the Bharatiya Janata Party and won election to the Lok
Sabha from East Delhi.

Early and personal life

Gambhir was born in New Delhi to Deepak Gambhir, who manages a textiles business,
and Seema Gambhir, a housewife. Gambhir has a sister, Ekta, who is two years
younger to him.[10] Gambhir was adopted by his grandparents eighteen days after his
birth and lived with them ever since.[11] Gambhir started playing cricket at the age of 10.
He received his schooling from Modern School, New Delhi and graduated from Hindu
College, University of Delhi. He stayed at his maternal uncle Pawan Gulati's residence
in the '90s. Gambhir considers Gulati to be his mentor and would often call him up
before important matches. Gambhir was coached by Sanjay Bharadwaj of Lal Bahadur
Shastri Academy in Delhi, and Raju Tandon. [10] Gambhir was selected for the first intake
of the National Cricket Academy in Bangalore in 2000.[12]
In October 2011, Gambhir married Natasha Jain, who belongs to a prominent business
family.[13] He currently resides in Delhi's Rajendra Nagar neighbourhood.[10]

Domestic career
2008 started well for Gambhir. At home, he scored an unbeaten 130 in the Ranji
Trophy final to help Delhi beat Uttar Pradesh by nine wickets just two days before the
team for the ODI tournament in Australia was to be announced.
Indian Premier League
Gambhir was picked up by the Delhi Daredevils franchise in the first player auction of
the Indian Premier League for a price of US$725,000 a year. He became the second
highest run-scorer of the inaugural season with 534 runs from 14 matches. [14] For his
performances in 2008, he was named in the Cricinfo IPL XI. He was promoted to the
post of Captain of the Delhi Daredevils for IPL Season 2010.[15] At the end of the
tournament he became the only player from Delhi Daredevils to score more than 1000
runs in the IPL.
In the 2011 IPL player auction, Gambhir was the most sought after player, fetching a bid
of $2.4 million from The Kolkata Knight Riders, making him the highest paid cricketer in
the history of IPL. He was then appointed as the skipper of the team. [16] Under Gambhir's
captaincy, the Kolkata Knight Riders qualified for the IPL playoffs and also made it to
the Champions League Twenty20 for the first time. He eventually led the side to their
first title in 2012 by defeating defending champions Chennai Super Kings by 5 wickets
at their home ground in Chennai.[17] For his performances in 2012, he was named as
captain of the Cricinfo IPL XI. Gambhir is the leading run-scorer of the Kolkata Knight
Riders.[18] During the same season, he scored 6 half-centuries out of a total of nine from
his team and became only the second player to cross the 2000 runs mark in the history
of the IPL and the second highest run scorer ever in the tournament. [19] He led Kolkata
Knight Riders to their second title in 2014 by beating Kings XI Punjab by 3 wickets. He
led Kolkata Knight Riders to the playoffs in the 2016 and 2017 season and was also the
highest run-scorer. For his performances in the 2017 IPL season, he was named in the
Cricinfo and Cricbuzz IPL XI.[20]
On 27 January 2018, in the 2018 IPL Auction, he was bought by the Delhi
Daredevils for ₹2.8 crore, and was appointed as the captain. Later Kolkata Knight
Rider's CEO Venky Mysore revealed that Gambhir had asked the team not to retain him
as he wanted to finish his IPL career where he started. [21] On 25 April, Gambhir stepped
down from captaincy citing poor performances of the team, and announced Shreyas
Iyer as the new captain of the Delhi Daredevils. [22]

International career
Early career
Gambhir scored two successive double-hundreds in 2002 (one of them against the
visiting Zimbabweans) made him a strong contender for India's opening slot in all three
forms of the game. He made his ODI debut against Bangladesh in the TVS Cup in
2003. In his third match, he scored 71 and was named Man of the Match. His maiden
century (103 off 97 balls) came against Sri Lanka in 2005. In 2004, he made
his Test debut against Australia in the fourth and last Test match of the Border
Gavaskar Trophy but did himself no favours by getting out for 3 and 1. He made
amends in his second Test, however, scoring 96 against the South Africans. His maiden
Test century came against Bangladesh in December 2004. Gambhir then made a
number of starts in the home series against Pakistan in 2005 but was able to make only
one half-century in six innings. He made 97 in Zimbabwe later that year, but failed to
reach 30 against Sri Lanka at home, repeatedly struggling against Chaminda Vaas, and
was subsequently dropped from the Test team. He was replaced in Tests by Wasim
Jaffer, who made a double hundred and a hundred in seven Tests.
While Gambhir was out of the Test team, he played a number of One Day Internationals
for India between 2005 and 2007. However, he was not selected for the 2007 World
Cup as the selectors opted for a top-order of Sourav Ganguly, Virender Sehwag,
and Sachin Tendulkar. It affected him badly and Gambhir later said that "When I got
dropped for the World Cup, there were times I didn't want to play anymore. I didn't want
to practise. I couldn't motivate myself."[23] With no other career options, Gambhir stuck
with cricket. After India's first-round exit from the tournament, Gambhir was selected for
the One Day International on India's 2007 tour of Bangladesh. Believing the series
could be his last chance,[23] Gambhir scored his second century on that tour and was
subsequently selected for the One Day International on India's tour to Ireland in 2007.
He scored an unbeaten 80 against Ireland in the first game of that tour and was
awarded the man of the match award for that effort. In the post-match interview, he
indicated that performing more consistently was a top priority for his career as he had
done so in the past.[24]
Gambhir was selected in India's squad for the 2007 ICC World Twenty20, which India
went on to win in South Africa, beating Pakistan in the final. Gambhir performed well in
the shortest form of the game, ending the tournament as India's top run scorer, with 227
at an average of 37.83, including three half-centuries which included a crucial 75 runs
off 54 balls against Pakistan in the final.[25] He was named in the 'Team of the
Tournament' by Cricinfo for the 2007 T20I World Cup. [26]
For his performances in 2007, he was named in the World T20I XI by Cricinfo. [27]
Golden form

Gambhir in 2008
In 2008, Gambhir was forced to miss the Test series in Australia due to a shoulder
injury. In the 2007–08 CB Series, he scored an unbeaten 102 at the Gabba against Sri
Lanka in a match washed out due to rain. Three weeks later at Sydney, he scored a
career-best 113 off 119 balls against Australia, in a high scoring match which India lost
by 18 runs. He finished the CB series as the leading run-scorer with 440 runs.
In 2008 Gambhir finally solidified his place in the Indian Test team with a string of high
scores. Opening the batting with Delhi teammate Virender Sehwag, he scored 858 runs
at over 61 in seven matches as of December including a double century against
Australia in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. However, in the same match, he was involved
in controversy when he elbowed bowler Shane Watson while taking a run. Gambhir
asserted it was accidental, but was banned for one Test. [28] Gambhir scored 463 runs in
the series, which despite missing the last match was more than any other player in the
series.[29]
He was the leading run-scorer in the Test series against England in December 2008
and against New Zealand in early 2009, meaning that he had achieved this feat in three
consecutive series.
For his performances in 2008, he was named in the World Test XI and ODI XI by
Cricinfo.[30]
Gambhir played his first major Test series outside the sub-continent, having toured New
Zealand in 2009. In the second Test match, he scored a match-saving 137 in the
second innings. He stood more than five sessions in the middle and faced over 430
balls. This innings led Virender Sehwag, Gambhir's opening partner, close friend, and
captain for the match, to call him 'The Second Wall' in reference to Rahul Dravid. He
then scored 167 in the second innings of the Third Test to give India an unassailable
lead, but rain helped the New Zealand batsmen to hang on for a draw. Gambhir, with
445 runs in six innings at an average of 89, helped India win 1–0 to script a series win in
that country after 41 years.
Through ranks
He was named as the ICC Test Player of the Year for 2009, [31] and was briefly ranked
the No. 1 batsman in the ICC rankings in July; at the time India were not playing Tests
and his points rating did not change, but other batsmen who were ranked higher lost
points before regaining them.
He continued his run in the late-2009 Test series against Sri Lanka at home. He scored
a century in the second innings of the First Test in Ahmedabad to force a draw after the
visitors had taken a first innings lead of more than 300, and then combined in a double
century opening partnership with Sehwag on the first day of the Second Test in Kanpur,
scoring 167 himself and helping India to score more than 400 runs on the opening day.
This set up their score of 642 and an innings victory. Following the match, Gambhir
returned to the top of the ICC rankings. Gambhir withdrew from the Third and final Test
against Sri Lanka at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai in order to attend his sister's
wedding.
In the First Test against Bangladesh in Chittagong in January 2009, Gambhir hit a rapid
116 from 129 balls. It was his fifth century in as many Tests and made him the fourth
player to achieve this feat. Only Don Bradman has managed six centuries in as many
matches. In the 29th Test match against Bangladesh at Dhaka, he rewrote the history of
IVA Richards by scoring most fifties plus runs in 11 consecutive matches. In this match,
he scored 66 runs.
For his performances in 2009, he was named in the World Test XI by the ICC. [32]
Brief captaincy
In 2010, Gambhir was appointed captain of the national team in ODI series against New
Zealand which was hosted by India. He scored an unbeaten 150 in the fourth match in
Calcutta to help seal the series, guiding the hosts to victory in the run-chase. He
eventually earned the Man-of-the-Series award for leading India to a 5–0 win. He then
returned as captain of the side in India's match against the West Indies in December
2011.[33]
Post-captaincy
In the final of the Cricket World Cup 2011, Gambhir scored a solid knock of 97 from 122
balls. Coming in to bat in the first over after the dismissal of Virender Sehwag, he
anchored the Indian inning despite the early dismissal of both the openers. He had a
good partnership first with Kohli, and then a match-winning partnership of 109 runs
with MS Dhoni.[34]
In 2011, India's batting line-up struggled in Tests, particularly away from home. Out of
sixteen innings in away Tests, India passed 300 just twice and both the team's opening
batsmen failed to score a century in the format in the whole of 2011. [35] Between
February 2010 and November 2011, Gambhir played in 14 Tests. From 25 innings he
scored 704 runs at an average of 29.33. In the same period, only two opening batsmen
who had played at least 15 innings had a worse average: Phillip Hughes of Australia
and Imrul Kayes of Bangladesh. However, while he was struggling in Tests, Gambhir
enjoyed a rich run of form in ODIs, averaging 56.90 from 23 matches.[36] Gambhir
opened the batting in all four of India's Test defeats against Australia in 2011–12. He
scored 181 runs at an average of 22.62. [37]
For his performances in 2012, he was named in the World ODI XI by the ICC.
On 12 February 2012, Gambhir scored 92 off 111 balls in an ODI match
against Australia at the Adelaide Oval, to help India win their first match against the
hosts at that venue. It was also India's highest successful run chase in Australia. For his
effort, Gambhir won the Man of the Match award. [38] On 14 February 2012, against Sri
Lanka, Gambhir yet again missed out on an ODI hundred when he was dismissed run
out for a fine 91 off 106 balls. This knock from Gambhir was instrumental in securing a
thrilling tie in that match. In August 2012, the Indian selection committee handed him
back vice-captaincy of the T20 squad for the World Cup. [39]
Comeback
After a big absence from international cricket, on 8 October 2016, Gambhir was recalled
for the Test-Match series against New Zealand, after showing good form in domestic
cricket.[40]
Retirement

Gambhir announced his retirement from all forms of cricket on 3 December 2018, ahead
of his final match for the Delhi cricket team against the Andhra cricket team in the Ranji
Trophy on 6 December 2018.[41] Gambhir went on to score 112 in his final innings, his
43rd century in first-class cricket.[42] Gautam Gambhir began his new innings as a
parliamentarian as he took oath as the Lok Sabha MP on June 17, 2019.

Gautam Gambhir Foundation

The Gautam Gambhir Foundation is the philanthropic initiative of Gautam Gambhir. It
was started in 2014 and is based out of Delhi. He set up community kitchens in 2017
through the Foundation in Patel Nagar, Delhi, in a bid to make sure no one slept hungry
in the city. The key project of the Foundation is to reach out to as many children of
paramilitary martyrs as possible and empower them by supporting their entire
educational needs. Apart from this, the GGF works with adolescent girls from
underprivileged homes in generating awareness on nutrition, health and hygiene, and
an effort to make Delhi green by planting trees the city to fight air pollution in the city.

Politics
On 22 March 2019, he joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the presence of Union
ministers Arun Jaitley and Ravi Shankar Prasad.[43][44] He was the party's candidate
from East Delhi in the 2019 Indian general election.[45] After his opponent Atishi
Marlena challenged him to a debate, Gambhir declined her challenge, saying he doesn't
believe in "dharna and debates."[46] Gautam won the elections by 695,109 votes
against Atishi Marlena and Arvinder Singh Lovely.[47]

Other work
Gambhir has started work at his constituency of East Delhi, installing CCTV cameras to
tackle the issue of women's safety which has plagued Delhi in recent times. [citation needed] He is
also the Brand Ambassador for Pinnacle Industries' Pinnacle Specialty Vehicles.[48][49][50]
