Gautam Gambhir believes improving on his consistency will help him cement his place in the Indian cricket team.

"At this level it's all about being consistent and that's what I was lacking in the past and it's very important for me," said the Delhi batsman who cracked an unbeaten 80 to guide India to a 9-wicket win against Ireland on Saturday.

The left-hander shared an unbroken century partnership with Sourav Ganguly who made a solid 75 not out as India comfortably overhauled Ireland's revised target of 171.

"It will be a long tour so it's important to start off well. It's nice to start well and I'm pleased I got the runs," said Gambhir who was also named man of the match.

After being left out of the World Cup squad, Gambhir heralded his comeback on the tour of Bangladesh scoring 21 and 101 in the two one-dayers.

His pleasing knock against Ireland comes as a reassurance of his desire to get runs consistently.

Gambhir said his visit to England with the India 'A' team helped his adapt to the conditions quickly.
