The appointment of Gautam Gambhir as the head coach of the Indian cricket team has sparked a new era in Indian cricket. After a successful T20I series win against Sri Lanka, the team suffered a setback in the ODI series. However, the upcoming Test series against Bangladesh will be a true test for Gambhir’s leadership.
Rishabh Pant, a crucial player in India’s future plans, has shared his insights on the changes under Gambhir’s guidance. Pant believes that Gambhir’s aggressive approach and focus on winning will bring a positive change to the team. However, he emphasizes the need for balance and improvement.
Pant also warns against underestimating Bangladesh in the upcoming series. He highlights their recent victory over Pakistan and stresses the importance of India maintaining their high standards. With 10 Tests scheduled within the next five months, including series against New Zealand and Australia, India must continue to improve to stay ahead of the competition.
Pant emphasizes the significance of the Duleep Trophy in providing quality match practice for players ahead of the Test season. He also believes that the presence of international stars in the tournament will benefit young domestic cricketers.
