Ahead of the five-match Test series against England, Indian coach Gautam Gambhir is focusing on the positives, urging the Shubman Gill-led side to seize the opportunities presented. With key players like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and Ravichandran Ashwin absent, the challenge is significant. England has not been a happy hunting ground for subcontinent teams, but Gambhir believes the team should concentrate on the potential rather than the losses.
Gambhir stated that the team has a phenomenal opportunity to achieve something special for the country. He emphasized the importance of hunger, passion, and commitment. He called for sacrifices, stepping out of comfort zones, and fighting every session, every hour, and every ball to make the tour memorable. He encouraged the players to start enjoying playing for the country, as it is the greatest honor.
India’s Squad: Shubman Gill (c), Rishabh Pant (vc, wk), Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Sai Sudarshan, Abhimanyu Easwaran, Karun Nair, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Ravindra Jadeja, Dhruv Jurel, Washington Sundar, Shardul Thakur, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, Akash Deep, Arshdeep Singh, Kuldeep Yadav.
