MPV: Gambhir on top
Srinivas Bhogle and Debasish Ghosh
February 25, 2008

India's left-hander Gautam Gambhir [Images], after his second century of the tournament on Sunday, leads the list of Most Valuable Players (MVP) in the ongoing CB tri-series.

Mahendra Singh Dhoni [Images] is placed third; possibly because his strike rate is a mere 70 in this series (his career average is 92).

The Australian trio of pace bowlers --  Brett Lee [Images], Mitchell Johnson and Nathan Bracken [Images] -- is doing very well, and currently hold the second, fourth and seventh places.

Sachin Tendulkar and Yuvraj Singh continue to be India's most valuable players in the 2007-08 season, although their Australian ODI outings have been far less distinguished.

Dhoni and Gambhir have been the two other successful players. Zaheer Khan [Images], R P Singh and Sourav Ganguly [Images] too were doing very well-till they were felled by injuries and the selectors respectively.
