harsha if iam not wrong
he didn't do that well against pakistan in abudhabi
you have mentioned he is having more shot than gambir i tend to disagree with you on this
if you would have closely folled karnataka ranji trophy matches in chinnaswamy stadium or any televised matches you would have answer now
he is very of restricted to long off and long on
he is not very good cutter or the puller of the ball
his only strength is laughted drives through long off and long on
wheras gambir is having all shots in his kitty
be it hook,pull, or cuthe is perfect blend of all shots
and he is infact proven to be much more devastating than sehwag in whatever amny matches he played for india
i am sure uttappa is good dashing opener
but gambir is touch better than uttapa and deserved a chance in the srilanka tour
