India head coach Gautam Gambhir will push for an aggressive approach and will not allow the opposition to take the initiative in the upcoming two-match Test series against Bangladesh, feels former batter Ajay Jadeja.

India host Bangladesh for a two-match Test series beginning in Chennai from September 19, to be followed by three T20Is. "It is very clear, his approach is aggressive.

One thing is sure, there will never be a dull moment with him around, he will always try something. He will do what he believes," Jadeja told reporters when asked about the Indian team's approach under Gambhir during the upcoming series. "He (Gambhir) will not be somebody who will sit back and let things flow.

He will be out there, he will try things like we saw Suryakumar Yadav becoming captain suddenly. I am looking forward to the excitement we are going to see this year." The 53-year-old Jadeja, who's mostly remembered as a top ODI batter with 5359 runs from 196 matches at an average of 37.47, was speaking to the media on the sidelines of the Cricket Association of Bengal's annual awards function.
