Gautam Gambhir is someone who wears his heart on his sleeves and is extremely passionate about the game.

Gambhir's never say die attitude might rub off on the team and if India revamp their ODI game and start playing in an aggressive style then it will only benefit them considering the amount of talent they have at their disposal.
