Surgery was successful.
I like him as a person, very down to earth kind of guy off-camera and real life. He used to be very handy cricketer for India as well but his career almost finished when he didn't perform according to his reputation in England tour. And we are not going to see him in blue jersey ever. Even if he gets the new opportunity to play for India (very unlikely) Then his format is T-20, not ODI or test format.
He is still playing well in IPL so why are they not giving him a chance in international games and taking newbies is something I can't get. He was once the vice captain of CSK too and he's still young. When they ignore Gambhir, I thought it was because of his age but now only youngsters are being chosen. Tey could have chosen him for T20 if his surgery was not there but his name was nowhere mentioned and he won't be playing for next year's WC also now.
Raina, Dhoni, Yuvi all 3 used to be a backbone for Indian Middle-order, Good old days. cant even compare to those guys with current middle order ( Last 3-4 years time period sucks for Indian middle-order)
Gambhir too was good and they dropped him too. These players were able to get runs and not depend on just 1-2 players and even that time Virat played well but now I don't see the same aggression he had like that time. He used to be under pressure and perform while now he just plays for the sake of playing.
