Out-of-favour Indian opener Gautam Gambhir‘s woeful form in the county circuit continued as he failed to make a significant contribution for the third time in a row during a one-day game for the Yorkshire Bank Pro-40 Championship.
Gambhir made only two after Essex captain James Foster elected to bat at the Old Trafford ground.
The left-hander, who is fighting to make a comeback into the Indian team had scored 31 in a First-Class game against Northamptonshire and 21 in a Pro-40 game against Derbyshire.
On Monday, Gambhir was the first batsmen to get out after facing nine deliveries as he poked at an away-going delivery of seamer Kabir Ali which was snapped up by veteran South African Ashwell Prince in the slip cordon.
Gambhir will still get a few matches to make a mark before the Indian domestic season begins.
