Gambhir's Childhood Coach Said:

Gautam has played with Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. Gautam had given away his Man of the Match to Virat Kohli when he was just  starting. When you give away your award to a young player and promote him, that speaks volumes. Gautam had told me way before, you just wait and watch Rohit Sharma's statistics and how big a player he becomes. Rohit wasn't performing that well when Gautam predicted this. Gautam has great observation skills and of course we all know where Rohit is today.
