Gautam Gambhir comfortable with my form'

Gautam Gambhir hasn't had the time yet to unpack after returning from the IPL in South Africa, and it's already time for him to jet out again. Quietly shutting himself from everything cricket, he spent some quality time with his family to recharge his batteries. Before catching the flight for Mumbai on his way to England for the World T20 Championship, the versatile left-hander spoke to The Indian Express on his form, India's chances in England and his dislike for stereotyping.

I really don't feel stressed or worried about what is being said around me. It's not easy to come to T20 soon after playing a Test series and anybody who watched the games knows I was unlucky on a couple of occasions. If you look at the overall picture, I was not way off the mark. It's not that I didn't score runs at all. Just one match before the semi-final, I got 40-odd runs. I was Man of the Match against Kolkata Knight Riders. I think it's okay once in a while if you don't reach the peak. It's the mental state that really matters and it tells you what kind of form you are in. I am feeling very comfortable with myself and my form.

Ponting is the only cricketer to have twice scored more than 1500 runs in Test matches in a calendar year and with 37 centuries he trails India’s Sachin Tendulkar by 5 tons as the leading century scorer in Tests. “I think it's important this week that we do focus on that (ICC WT20), and make sure we're in the best shape we possibly can to put up a good showing there," he said.

"We know there's a lot of hype around the Ashes already and it's up to us senior guys, who have been around, to make sure the younger guys are well versed on the things to expect when we get there," Ponting added.
