Setback For Gautam Gambhir's Protege At Champions Trophy, Compatriot 'Way Ahead' In Playing XI Race: Report

Harshit Rana has been the flavour of the season as far as India's emerging crop of fast bowlers is concerned but one of head coach Gautam Gambhir's finds is unlikely to start in India's playing eleven in the Champions Trophy with Arshdeep Singh still considered way ahead in terms of talent and quality.

Personal Chef Banned But Virat Kohli Finds Unique Way To Get Desired Food In Dubai

A lot has changed in Indian cricket since the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia concluded. Team India's return home from an unfulfilling series in Australia saw the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) issue a 10-point diktat, restricting certain activities in the team. One of the restrictions put in place was barring players from bringing their own personal chefs, stylists, and staff on overseas tours. After the Indian team landed in Dubai for the ICC Champions Trophy campaign, however, Virat Kohli found a unique way to get his hands on the desired delicacies.

Gautam Gambhir, Ajit Agarkar Not On Same Page. Heated Debate In Team Over 'Selection': Report

Team India's 3-0 ODI series sweep against England does instill a lot of confidence in the team ahead of the start of the ICC Champions Trophy. With Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli also showing signs of a return to form, the Indian team management can breathe a sigh of relief. But, there remain certain aspects of the team that a few experts aren't confident about. One of the biggest concerns for them, going forward is the lack of clarity about India's middle-order. In fact, a report has claimed that head coach Gautam Gambhir and chief selector Ajit Agarkar aren't on the same page over the selection cases of Shreyas Iyer and Rishabh Pant, prompting a heated debate in the team too.

The promotion of "discipline, unity, and a positive team environment" is the intent of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) as the new 10-point diktat gets underway from the ICC Champions Trophy. After reports of a 'divided' team environment in the team emerged from the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia, the board decided to make a plethora of changes, a lot of which were taken after consideration of head coach Gautam Gambhir. However, as the new rulings take effect, even Gambhir has been hit.

India's dominant 3-0 series victory over England left little room for doubt about their superiority, but one aspect of their batting order drew scrutiny.

This move, seemingly influenced by head coach Gautam Gambhir's preference for a right-left combination in the middle order, sparked debate among commentators.
