Yuvraj calls consistent Gambhir 'Sir'

CNN-IBN: Would you say that the Twenty20 World Championship was the turning point in your career as that is where you got maximum chances and you made the most out of it?

Gautam Gambhir: I can say that it was the turning point because twenty20 is one format which has really worked for me. And I have taken that confidence into 50 overs as well. So, it has worked for me.

CNN-IBN: From where do you derive this consistency, especially in Twenty20 as it is not very easy to get in the shortest version of the game?

Gautam Gambhir: I think when you are hitting the ball well, it is necessary that you be consistent and continue the good form and make as many runs as possible because you never know when that bad form is going to come.

CNN-IBN: Gautam, do you want to ask anything to Yuvraj?

Gautam Gambhir: I think his bat speaks more than his words and that is more important for us.

CNN-IBN: Does he (Yuvraj) bullies you?

Gautam Gambhir: Not me. But probably the other youngsters.

Yuvraj Singh: Gautam bullies me. I don't bully him. On a more serious note I would like to say that Gautam has improved his batting in the last two years. A lot of people criticised him of not being a consistent player and not scoring against top teams but I think he has done very well and he is setting a great example for the team.
