"Gautam Gambhir Most Important": After Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli's Retirement Verdict Out On Indian Dressing Room

With the veterans Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli leaving the Test format, India now face a huge challenge to fill the void left by the two players. The team will get a replacement in batting but the overall impact that the two players bought together might not be matched anytime soon. Both Rohit and Virat brought in a huge experience with themselves of late, alongside their superb batting and on-field tactics that helped the team prosper over the years. With the duo not being part of the Test side anymore, the focus now shifts to the Indian captain that is yet to be named in the format and head coach Gautam Gambhir, who will be having a huge task of leading a lesser experienced side.

Gautam Gambhir To Enjoy 'Rare' Power After Virat Kohli Exit. Report Says "He Was Categorical..."

Greg Chappell's fall was spectacular when he tried to impose his authority while Anil Kumble could not deal with alpha male stardom but it seems Gautam Gambhir is on course to become that rare India head coach who will wield more power than the skipper. Indian cricket is replete with examples where powerful managers had to back out in front of player-power. Bishan Singh Bedi, Chappell and Kumble despite being champion players themselves didn't realise that they have to play the second fiddle. John Wright, Gary Kirsten and Ravi Shastri knew that and were immensely successful.

Reports of Virat Kohli quitting Test cricket have been doing rounds on social media. On Saturday, it was reported by the Times of India (TOI) that Kohli informed BCCI about his wish to retire from the longest format of the game. The report also mentioned that while the BCCI wants Kohli to play the upcoming five-match Test series in England, he is yet to respond to the board's request. While speaking to NDTV, a BCCI source confirmed the development, saying that the board has requested Kohli to take time before taking a call on retirement.

"Who Are These People...": Gautam Gambhir Rubbishes Rift Rumours With Rohit Sharma In Style

India men's cricket team head coach Gautam Gambhir recently slammed the "experts" and some Youtubers for spreading fake news about his rift with skipper Rohit Sharma. Gambhir, who is mostly in the headlines for his serious and no-nonsense nature, coached the Indian team which lifted the Champions Trophy in March this year.

Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli Playing 2027 World Cup "Will Depend On...": Gautam Gambhir's Big Statement

Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli "should be a part of the Indian team till they are performing", head coach Gautam Gambhir said on Tuesday, claiming that he will have no role in deciding whether the two senior batters are picked for the upcoming Test tour of England. The chatter around Kohli, 36, is not particularly high-decibel, but there are questions on his future too. "First things first, a coach's job isn't selecting the team. It is the job of selectors to select. The coach only selects the 11 who will play a match. Neither those who coached before me were selectors nor am I a selector," Gambhir, who was speaking at the ABP News' 'India At 2047' Summit, tried to steer clear of commenting on the fortunes of the senior players.

Man Utd seek to finish off Athletic Bilbao in chase for Europa glory

MANCHESTER: Manchester United are preparing for the second leg of their Europa League semifinal against Athletic Bilbao knowing only a calamity will prevent a likely showdown with Tottenham later this month. Ruben Amorim’s men came away from the first leg in northern Spain last week with one foot firmly in the final, also in Bilbao, after an impressive 3-0 win. It was an extraordinary result in a season of ceaseless turmoil at United and the club reverted to type on Sunday, crashing to their 16th Premier League loss of a miserable season at Brentford. United have now suffered their highest number of league defeats in a campaign for 35 years.
