Gautam Gambhir believes improving on his consistency will help him cement his
place in the Indian cricket team.
"At this level it's all about being consistent and that's what I was lacking
in the past and it's very important for me," said the Delhi batsman who cracked
an unbeaten 80 to guide India to a 9-wicket win against Ireland on Saturday.
The left-hander shared an unbroken century partnership with
Sourav Ganguly who made a solid 75 not out as India comfortably overhauled
Ireland's revised target of 171.
"It will be a long tour so it's important to start off
well. It's nice to start well and I'm pleased I got the runs," said Gambhir
who was also named man of the match.
After being left out of the World Cup squad, Gambhir heralded
his comeback on the tour of Bangladesh scoring 21 and 101 in the two one-dayers.
His pleasing knock against Ireland comes as a reassurance of
his desire to get runs consistently.
Gambhir said his visit to England with the India 'A' team helped
his adapt to the conditions quickly.
