Well the sources from BCCI says that Gambhir is the next Mr.consistent of India after sunil gavaskar.He has scored centuries in his last three matches succesively and his knock in those matches were match saving one.He has been declared as the ICC test player of the year 2009.In 2008 he has got most number of runs in the test matches.He has been ranked 1 in the ICC rank list for test matches.His 167 against the srilanka at Green's park in kanpur was brilliant.Some of those runs were scored with India in a strong position and pressing for a win, while others came in backs-to-the-walls situations that required him to bat long periods. He managed both superbly. On India's successful tour of New Zealand in 2009 Gambhir removed some question marks over his temperament and batting outside the subcontinent. He scored a series-topping 445 runs on the tour and his contributions were massive - Gambhir set up a win in Hamilton, saved a match that looked lost in Napier, and batted New Zealand out in Wellington - the three main jobs an opener is expected to do. His feats since 2008 helped him bag the Arjuna Award.
