"Rohit Sharma Was Backed Despite Not Having Stellar Start...": Gautam Gambhir's Blunt Take

With the India-Bangladesh two-match Test series set to commence on Thursday, Gautam Gambhir, the newly appointed Head Coach of Team India opened up about the bond with captain Rohit Sharma. For Gambhir, the captain is central to a team's success, and while the coach plays an important role, the ultimate responsibility lies with the leader on the field. Rohit's leadership qualities, Gambhir believes, have earned him immense respect in the dressing room—an essential trait for any successful leader.

"Can Take On Any Spin Unit": Gautam Gambhir On India's Batting Lineup

India head coach Gautam Gambhir on Wednesday expressed confidence in his batting unit's capability to negate quality spin bowling, a challenge they are expected to face in the Test series against Bangladesh. India batters, including star batter Virat Kohli, struggled against Sri Lankan spinners in the ODI-leg of the recent away white-ball series, leading to a tinge of apprehension ahead of the Bangladesh rubber. "Our batting unit has so much quality that it can take on any spin unit. There is a lot of difference between ODIs and Tests. It's all about the mindset and working and strengthening your defence and once you have it, then you play around it," Gambhir told the media on the eve of the opening Test.

India Look To Spin A New Story But Tricky Bangladesh No Pushovers

Littered largely with lopsided contests, India's hopes of walking down that familiar path will hinge on sorting an uncharacteristic batting infirmity against spin when they face Bangladesh in a two-Test series starting in Chennai from Thursday. Bangladesh, who are fresh from a recent 2-0 drubbing of Pakistan, are no pushovers this time and this will add to India's list of concerns as they look to take that bold first step into a long season that features 10 Tests, including a possible berth in the World Test Championship Final.

"I Listened To Hanuman Chalisa, Virat Kohli Chanted...": Gautam Gambhir's Big Revelation In Interview

In a freewheeling chat, India head coach Gautam Gambhir sat down with star batter and former teammate Virat Kohli and recalled fond memories of playing together. On the eve of the first Test against Bangladesh, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) shared a video of Kohli interviewing Gambhir and vice-versa. Kohli got the conversation underway by asking Gambhir about his double hundred against Australia in a Test in Delhi in 2008 and what kept the former India going during that knock.

Rohit Sharma Unearths New Weapon In Nets To Counter Bangladesh Spinners In Test Series

As the Indian cricket team gears up to resume its on-field duties, skipper Rohit Sharma has hit the nets with a certain mission in his mind.
