India's decision to not travel to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy 2025 has further intensified the tensions between the two countries. The two teams have not played a bilateral series in more than a decade due to the political tensions and although Pakistan did travel to India for the 2023 ODI World Cup, the Indian government did not take the same decision.

"Nothing To Do With Me": Gautam Gambhir's Blunt Reply To Reporter On Sanju Samson Query

India head coach Gautam Gambhir might be preparing to help the Rohit Sharma-led Indian team in Australia but he also has one eye on what is happening in South Africa where the Suryakumar Yadav-led Indian team is engaged in a 3-match T20I series. Speaking to the media ahead of his flight to Australia, Gambhir encountered a rather unrelated question when the topic of Sanju Samson's performances in South Africa came up.

"How Many Countries Have...": Gautam Gambhir's Straight Take On KL Rahul

It has been a tough year for KL Rahul. The star Indian cricket team batter has struggled to score runs and his position in the side has constantly come under threat.

However, head coach Gautam Gambhir has shown his faith towards Rahul and said that he can be one of the options to play in the first Test match against Australia in Perth if Rohit Sharma is not playing.

"Underutilised...": Ex-India Star Points Out Suryakumar Yadav's 'Obvious Mistake' Against South Africa

Former Indian cricket team batter Sanjay Manjrekar believes that all-rounder Axar Patel was 'underutilised' in the first two T20I encounters against South Africa. Following India's loss in the second game of the four-match series on Sunday, Manjrekar said that although India are playing Axar as the third spinner with Varun Chakravarthy and Ravi Bishnoi, the team management has failed to use him properly. While the track did provide some help to the spinners, Axar bowled just one over in the match. Manjrekar was not pleased with the decision and called it an "obvious mistake" by captain Suryakumar Yadav.
