Gautam Gambhir's childhood coach Sanjay Bharadwaj said Gambhir told him long back that India captain Rohit Sharma would be a great player, when Rohit wasn't able to score runs. "His observation about Rohit proved accurate," added Bharadwaj. Discussing Gambhir's mentality, Bharadwaj stated, "He had a winner's mentality since he was 10. He never thought that he could lose a match."
