	~~==Domestic career==~~
	2008 started well for Gambhir. At home, he scored an unbeaten 130 in the [[Ranji Trophy]] final to help Delhi beat [[Uttar Pradesh cricket team\|Uttar Pradesh]] by nine wickets just two days before the team for the ODI tournament in Australia was to be announced.

	===Early career===		===Early career===
	Gambhir scored two successive double-hundreds in 2002 (one of them against the visiting [[Zimbabwe cricket team\|Zimbabweans]]) made him a strong contender for India's [[Batting order (cricket)\|opening]] slot in all three forms of the game. He made his [[One Day International\|ODI]] debut against [[Bangladesh cricket team\|Bangladesh]] in the TVS Cup in 2003. In his third match, he scored 71 and was named [[Man of the Match]]. His maiden century (103 off 97 balls) came against [[Sri Lanka national cricket team\|Sri Lanka]] in 2005. In 2004, he made his [[Test cricket\|Test]] debut against [[Australia national cricket team\|Australia]] in the fourth and last Test match of the [[Border Gavaskar Trophy]] but did himself no favours by getting out for 3 and 1. He made amends in his second Test, however, scoring 96 against the [[South Africa national cricket team\|South Africans]]. His maiden Test century came against Bangladesh in December 2004. Gambhir then made a number of starts in the home series against Pakistan in 2005 but was able to make only one half-century in six innings. He made 97 in Zimbabwe later that year, but failed to reach 30 against [[Sri Lankan national cricket team\|Sri Lanka]] at home, repeatedly struggling against [[Chaminda Vaas]], and was subsequently dropped from the Test team. He was replaced in Tests by [[Wasim Jaffer]], who made a double hundred and a hundred in seven Tests.

	While Gambhir was out of the Test team, he played a number of One Day Internationals for [[India national cricket team\|India]] between 2005 and 2007. However, he was not selected for the [[2007 Cricket World Cup\|2007 World Cup]] as the selectors opted for a top-order of [[Sourav Ganguly]], [[Virender Sehwag]], and [[Sachin Tendulkar]]. It affected him badly and Gambhir later said that "When I got dropped for the World Cup, there were times I didn't want to play anymore. I didn't want to practise. I couldn't motivate myself."<ref name=2009-09-28/> With no other career options, Gambhir stuck with cricket. After India's first-round exit from the tournament, Gambhir was selected for the One Day International on [[Indian cricket team in Bangladesh in 2007\|India's 2007 tour of Bangladesh]]. Believing the series could be his last chance,<ref name=2009-09-28>{{cite web \|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/magazine/content/story/425398.html \|title='I can't help being insecure' \|first=Sidharth \|last=Monga \|publisher=ESPNcricinfo \|date=28 September 2009 \|access-date=29 December 2011}}</ref> Gambhir scored his second century on that tour and was subsequently selected for the One Day International on [[2007 Future Cup\|India's tour to Ireland in 2007]]. He scored an unbeaten 80 against [[Ireland cricket team\|Ireland]] in the first game of that tour and was awarded the man of the match award for that effort. In the post-match interview, he indicated that performing more consistently was a top priority for his career as he had done so in the past.<ref>{{cite news\|title=Gambhir searches for consistency\| first=Andrew\| last=McGlashan\| url=http://content-usa.cricinfo.com/ireland/content/story/299385.html\| publisher=ESPNcricinfo\| date=23 June 2007\| access-date=25 June 2007}}</ref>		While Gambhir was out of the Test team, he played a number of One Day Internationals for [[India national cricket team\|India]] between 2005 and 2007.
