He spent most of his career as Sehwag’s sidekick: Paddy Upton on Gautam Gambhir

Paddy Upton feels Gambhir’s class was upstaged by Sehwag’s flamboyance for the majority of his career. There was that additional pressure and disappointment of having Sehwag and Tendulkar back in the change room. But the reality was, you had two of the best high-pressure players in the team – one of them at the crease – Gautam Gambhir. Gary Kirsten used to call him the rock. He spent most of his career as Sehwag’s sidekick, recalls Upton.
