Gambhir 2nd opener to cross 3,000 runs in IPL
Kolkata Knight Riders' captain Gautam Gambhir's 51(34) against the Royal Challengers Bangalore on Monday, helped him become only the second batsmen in the Indian Premier League to cross the 3,000-runs mark as an opener. The only other player to have managed this feat is Royal Challengers Bangalore opener, Chris Gayle, with 3,214 runs in that position.
