India’s head coach Gautam Gambhir has set his sights on the upcoming Border Gavaskar Trophy series in Australia, setting aside the recent home-series defeat against New Zealand. Addressing media criticisms, Gambhir remained confident, stressing that the series loss was a valuable learning experience. As the team heads to Australia, Gambhir discussed potential changes in the lineup, particularly for the opening slot if Rohit Sharma remains unavailable, naming KL Rahul and Abhimanyu Easwaran as likely contenders.
Reflecting on his role, Gambhir emphasized his commitment to honesty, resilience, and the honor of coaching India’s elite cricketers, who he believes still have the hunger for success. Despite concerns about the form of senior players Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, Gambhir showed full confidence in their abilities and work ethic.
With a focus on preparation, Gambhir noted that the team has a 10-day window to train in Australian conditions, which differ significantly from India’s. He highlighted a nine-day break between the first and second Test, allowing the team ample time to gear up for the pink-ball day/night match. Gambhir praised Rahul’s adaptability across batting positions and hinted at using him as an opener if needed, underscoring Rahul’s potential to step up in Rohit’s absence.
