Greenstone Lobo: Gautam Gambhir will be back with a bang

He may be down but he is not out. Gautam Gambhir, who memorably powered a brilliant victory for India in the World Cup, has a few more grandeurs to endeavour. Gambhir has to play out the final episode of the script written in the heavens before he fades away.

Gambhir has his personal planets in Aries, Virgo and Libra. Aries gives him ruthless fearlessness, Virgo — meticulous perfectionism and Libra makes him a natural leader. He is born with Uranus and ‘Planet-Y’ in exaltation, an extraordinary combination for a sports star, similar to a Dhoni, Federer or Casillas.

The convalescing KKR captain will recoup from concussion and play in the Champions League. The highest paid cricketer in IPL will justify his price by leading KKR all the way in the tournament. KKR should reach the final of the CL under Gambhir, if not win it. Gambhir also has excellent chances to lead KKR to the tournament victory in the next IPL.

The India opener would play some remarkable Test and ODI knocks and plunder centuries till end of 2013. Post 2013, Gauti’s form will drop and he may even be replaced by a younger player.
He would play another important knock in a final, probably this time while he is leading a team, which could be the national team or his club.

The Delhiite will barely manage to keep his place in the 2015 ODI World Cup and would be a failure if he plays the tournament. However, when he hangs his boots, he would be immortalised as one of the greatest cricketers ever.
