Gambhir last played for India in 2016 when he was a part of the test team that played against England while he played last for the country in limited overs format in 2012. He has played 58 tests and scored 4,154 runs while in 147 ODIs that have been played by him, he has scored 5,238 runs. Nobody can forget his contribution in making the team win the T20I World Cup 2007 and World Cup 2011.
The 36 years old cricketer is known for calling a spade a spade and has never shied away from expressing his opinion on important matters. He is known to be involved in various charity works and has a clean image that may help him in winning elections if he decides to enter politics.
He was also the captain of IPL team Delhi Daredevils but he stepped down as the team was not performing well under his captaincy.
Do you think that Gambhir should join politics or not? Do let us know.
