Team India’s head coach Gautam Gambhir has given a big statement before the Pune Test match. He has said that what will be the playing XI of the team for a match is decided by the team management. Playing eleven is not made on social media. Gambhir has also said that KL Rahul had played a good innings in Kanpur and the team management will continue to support him.

However, Gautam Gambhir has not told that if Shubman Gill returns in the Pune Test match, will Sarfaraz Khan sit out or will KL Rahul be dropped for one match. Gautam Gambhir told the press conference before the second Test match to be played in Pune, “Social media does not decide the playing eleven.

It is not important what social media or experts think, it is important what the team management thinks. He played a good innings on the difficult pitch of Kanpur. Yes, he would like to score big runs and this team management wants to support him.” It is clear from these statements of Gambhir that he wants KL Rahul to get a chance in some more matches also. If he does not score runs in these matches then he can be dropped further.

KL Rahul was a flop in the first test against New Zealand
