Gautam Gambhir Press Conference Live Updates: India Head Coach To Clarify Hardik Pandya's Future

Gautam Gambhir Press Conference Live Updates: Addressing his first media conference as the head coach of the Indian men's cricket team, Gautam Gambhir has a tough task ahead of him, as he finds himself in the middle of a tricky transition. With Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Ravindra Jadeja deciding to retire from T20 Internationals after their T20 World Cup 2024 triumph, Gambhir has had to take some tough captaincy calls. Suryakumar Yadav's promotion as the skipper in the shortest format, ahead of the 'natural successor' Hardik Pandya, is the biggest burning topic in Indian cricket at the moment. Gambhir is expected to explain the decision and clarify a number of other topics, such as Shubman Gill's promotion as white-ball vice-captain as well as Ravindra Jadeja's ODI snub. 

India’s premier spin-bowling all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja finds himself in an uncharted territory, with little awareness about what holds for him in the future. Jadeja wasn’t picked for the ODI series against Sri Lanka, with Axar Patel and Washington Sundar making the cut. What does that mean for Jadeja’s ODI future?

As soon as Gautam Gambhir sits on the hot seat in the press conference, the first question expected to fly towards him is the decision to snub Hardik Pandya as the captain of the T20I side. With Hardik being Team India’s designated vice-captain under Rohit Sharma’s leadership, he was the natural successor. But, it all changed as Gambhir took charge.
