Indian coach Gautam Gambhir kept the expectations high of the Shubman Gill led side ahead of the 5 match test series against England. The Indian team has a challenging job ahead of them with the presence of Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Ravichandarn Ashwin retired. England has not been a happy hunting ground as far as the men of the subcontinent are concerned but the problems this time around are quadrupled. Gambhir though is keen to make the new lot of players not to look at what they are lacking, but rather look at the opportunity they have, in their hands.
Gautam Gambhir’s Statement
“There are two ways of looking at this. One is that we are without are three most experienced players (Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and Ravichandran Ashwin), or we have a phenomenal opportunity to do something special for the country. When I look around this group, I think there’s hunger, passion, and the commitment to do something special. If we make sacrifices, if we come out of our comfort zones, if we start fighting, not every day, but every session, every hour, every ball, I think we can have a memorable tour. Make sure we start that from today only. We start enjoying playing for the country because there’s no bigger honour,” Gambhir said in the huddle.
