Capable of raising an army of youth

Gambhir has worked to groom many young players in the IPL. At LSG, he recognized the skills of players like Ayush Badoni and at KKR, he recognized the skills of players like Harshit Rana and Vaibhav Arora. The Indian team is also going through a phase of change. While senior players are on the verge of retirement, young players are knocking on the door of Team India.
