Champions League T20 News - Gambhir won't feature in the qualifiers

CLT20 News


Kolkata Knight Riders features in the qualifying matches of Champions League T20 2011 but unfortunately their captain Gautam Gambhir will miss the initial round. He sustained an injury due to which he couldn't even play in the ODI series against England.


Kolkata will also miss the services of Eoin Morgan who is also suffering from an injury. Brad Haddin would probably not play as he will be playing the test match against Sri Lanka. 


Let us have a look at how Gambhir fared in the later stages of the last IPL T20 tournament. Kolkata fought really hard to make a place in the final stages but somehow failed. If we consider the last 5 innings of Gautam Gambhir his individual scores were 4, 8, 54, 7 and 16. The only good score was 54 not out which came against Pune in Mumbai. Kolkata won that match by 7 wickets with 20 balls in hand.


Cricket fans are eager to see this adeptable batsman who would flourish in any form of cricket. Cricket fans pray for his speedy recovery as even the Indian national team needs his presence to regain the lost form.

Chennai Super Kings are the defending champions and MS Dhoni is the captain. He has been one of the most successful captains in current cricket world. World cup win is certainly his biggest achievement. But after world cup the team has seen a huge drop in performances.
