According to Gambhir, this approach allows the left-handed batter to treat every innings with the same enthusiasm and focus as if it’s his first, ensuring that nothing is taken for granted.

“When you come in after a lot of handwork, first-class cricket and you have performed at every single stage, then you value each of your knocks. Then you start every innings like it is your first one, and you won’t take anything for granted,” Gambhir said on Star Sports.
