Gautam Gambhir Big Statement on Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli: After India’s defeat in the Sydney Test, coach Gautam Gambhir spoke to the media and directly said that this is a defeat for the entire team. Apart from this, Gambhir has also given his opinion on the performance of Kohli and Rohit Sharma. Gambhir said in the press conference after the defeat of Team India, “My job is to be honest towards my work and also towards all the players, it is not that I give preference to only a few players, but my job is to look at every player with equal perspective, whether he is debuting or has made his debut. “Whoever has played 100 Test matches, it is my job to look after all of them equally.” By saying this, Gambhir has expressed his views on the performance of senior players like Kohli and Rohit Sharma.
When Gambhir was asked about the future of Kohli-Rohit in the Indian Test team, he clearly said, “It all depends on their ‘hunger’ to score runs.” Gambhir further talked about the players of the Indian team. Said, “All the players here know what they lack. All players are honest with themselves. I consider myself lucky to be working with such a team. The players know how much hunger they have and how much it is going to benefit the team. He is not going to shy away from taking decisions in the interest of the team.”
On Rohit not playing the last Test match, Gambhir also said, “There could have been more wisdom while writing the report. When a captain takes such a decision, I don’t think it is bad. I think everyone should take care of the team. Should be placed first and Rohit did the same.”
In his statement, Gambhir said on India’s defeat, “We could have won the series. We had won the first Test match, if we had won the last session of the Melbourne Test, the series would have been 1-1. You also see in Sydney, There were chances for us to win in this match too. We did not bat in the second innings and we lost there, but I will not blame anyone here. This is a team game and we lost as a team. “
Gambhir praised Siraj and Bumrah and said, “Both the bowlers bowled well in the entire series, I have not seen such bowling in Indian cricket till date. Siraj has also supported Bumrah equally. About Bumrah What can I say, he did everything a big bowler does, our bowlers bowled brilliantly in this entire series, this series has been memorable for Bumrah.”
Gambhir also said that players must go and play domestic cricket. Gambhir said, ‘I always want that everyone should play domestic cricket with the red ball.’
India’s next test series will be a 5-match series in England. Now the challenge before the selectors is to decide whether experienced players like Kohli and Rohit should be given a chance for longer time or not.
