Ahead of the first England-India Test, Nasser Hussain, writing in the Daily Mail, does a quick check of the touring party, player by player.
Gautam Gambhir: An impressive guy and a tough batsman in the new Indian mould. When India lost two quick wickets in the World Cup final, Gambhir was the bloke who came in and steadied the ship. He’s not an old-style Indian bully, scoring easy runs on flat tracks. He loves the competition and I know Duncan Fletcher’s very impressed with him...
Yuvraj Singh: An enigma. It’s fair to say he’s not the most popular guy on the international circuit, but Dhoni enjoys the fact that he’s not going to be pushed around. He’s in your face and lets you know how good he thinks he is. He’s another batsman England reckon doesn’t fancy the short stuff, but he plays spin pretty well and if he makes a good start to the series, we may see a bit of the strut that gets up opposition noses.
