If Gautam Gambhir, the newly appointed coach of the Indian cricket team, sets his mind to it, he could be the frontrunner to become the next Rakesh Jhunjhunwala.

The late Jhunjhunwala,  known as the “Big Bull,” had famously invested in Titan Company in 2003 when it was just a penny stock. Like most of his diverse investments, this purchase was not based on research or a tip-off. It was governed purely 
by instincts.

Like the billionaire investor, Gambhir, the tenacious former opener-turned-coach, also seems to be governed by instincts while picking unheralded players and turning them into match-winners.
