He (Shubman Gill) bats a little differently from me and Pujara – Rahul Dravid Rahul Dravid & Shubman Gill (Photo Source: The first match of the five-match Test series between Australia and India under the Border-Gavaskar Trophy is going to be played in Perth from November 22. Jasprit Bumrah is going to captain India in the absence of Rohit Sharma. What will be the playing 11 of Team India in Perth Test? Fans are very excited to know this. There is pressure among the fans as well as the players regarding this series, because the team had to face 0-3 defeat at home against New Zealand in the last Test series. Meanwhile, former Indian coach Rahul Dravid says that if two of India’s top-4 batsmen score runs then the team will have a big chance of victory. He also emphasized that Shubman Gill is an excellent player and he will be seen performing brilliantly at number 3. Shubman Gill is a great player- Rahul Dravid Shubman Gill made his Test debut for India as an opener in BGT 2020-21 against Australia. Gill played two half-century innings in three matches in the debut series. He played a brilliant inning of 91 runs in the Gabba Test, which played a big role in India’s historic run chase (328). India won that series 2-1 Shubman Gill has been seen batting at number 3 in Tests for India since last year. He was seen struggling in the beginning, but his average in 25 innings is 42. Rahul Dravid while speaking on ESPNCricinfo said, They have Shubman Gill, who is a fantastic player. Last time he had some great successes in Australia. Everyone talks about Rishabh’s 80 (89) and rightly so, but I think Shubman scored 91 to set up the game on that fifth morning. He’s a great player, he’s a great kid, and he’s learning. He bats a little differently from me and Pujara, but still he is a very, very good player. Gill suffered a thumb injury during practice at the WACA Ground before the Perth Test against Australia. According to reports, he has a fracture in his thumb and he may be out of the first test. Devdutt Padikkal can replace Gill in the playing 11.

Gautam Gambhir & KL Rahul (Photo Source: India head coach Gautam Gambhir revealed that there is no certainty yet whether Rohit Sharma will play in the first Test against Australia in Perth or not. He said that a decision will be taken in the next few days and if he does not play the Perth Test, then Bumrah will captain in his absence. Meanwhile, the 43-year-old also highlighted that if Rohit does not play then Abhimanyu Easwaran or KL Rahul could open. In fact Both Easwaran and Rahul flopped with the bat in the practice match against Australia A in Melbourne. After which, there was discussion about Shubman Gill opening again, but Gambhir admitted that the team management had not discussed it. However, he indicated that the team management would give preference to someone senior.

The Delhi-born player also revealed that the team is not focusing on the World Test Championship final and every series they play has great importance. Gautam Gambhir gave a big statement regarding KL Rahul Gautam Gambhir said in the press conference, “I am not considering the scenario of reaching the WTC final. Every series is important, regardless of what happened in the past. We are keen to go to Australia and do well. Abhimanyu Easwaran, KL Rahul are our options as Rohit’s replacement. “I will consider the best playing XI as the first Test approaches.” He further said, “Sometimes you go with experienced players also. He can bat in the top order, middle order and also at number 6. He can keep wickets; If Rohit is not available for the first Test then he can open for us. How many teams have a player like KL Rahul who can open as well as play at number 5 or 6? KL Rahul is an experienced player.”
Sandeep Patil wrote big things about former Indian coach Chappell, Wright and Kumble in his Autobiography.
Sandeep Patil believes that John Wright was successful as the Indian coach because he gave free rein to the players. Sandeep Patil (Photo Source: Getty Images) ‘Beyond Boundaries’, the autobiography of 1983 World Champion team member and former Indian selector Sandeep Patil, was released in Mumbai on November 6, 2024. In this book, Sandeep Patil shares his views about some of India’s coaches since John Wright. The former player believes that John Wright was successful as the Indian coach because he gave free rein to the players. But then Greg and Anil Kumble were unable to do so. John Wright was the ideal coach for India- Sandeep Patil Describing John Wright, Sandeep Patil wrote that, he was an ideal coach for India and after his tenure, India’s record abroad kept getting better. He also said that Wright kept his distance from the press and was not in the news much. Sandeep Patil wrote in his book, Since the year 2000, India has had many international coaches and support staff. This has been of great benefit, as India’s foreign record has continuously improved. It started with John Wright becoming India’s first foreign coach. I think John was the ideal coach for India. He was soft spoken, polite, always kept to himself and was happy living in the shadow of Sourav Ganguly. Apart from all this, he maintained distance from the press. He managed it so well that he was rarely in the news, unlike Greg Chappell’s tenure. Greg Chappell was in the news every day- Patil Patil believes that Greg Chappell did not try to understand the thought process of the BCCI board members, president and secretary. Chappell could not establish good relations with other members of the Indian team. Patil also told that Chappell was in the news every day. With Chappelle, he was in the news every day. It is very important for a coach to first understand the policy of that board, the thinking of the board members and the chairman. He should have a good rapport with the president and secretary, and of course with the captain and the team. John did this brilliantly. During John’s tenure, there was no senior and junior issue. It was a team. He believed that all the seniors were leaders in some way or the other, he respected them and gave them free rein, which I think Anil Kumble did not do and also Greg Chappell. Sandeep Patil also told in his book that, instead of learning about the system in India, Greg Chappell wanted to change things from the beginning. However, John Wright was the complete opposite, as he took time to understand Indian cricket. Let us tell you, John Wright coached India in 182 matches, out of which the team won 89 matches. Meanwhile, India won 40 out of 81 matches under Chappell’s leadership. Anil Kumble’s tenure was much shorter than the other two, during his tenure India won 22 out of 35 matches.

‘Rahul Dravid’s mind is better than Gautam Gambhir’, former Pakistani cricketer raised questions on the Indian head coach.
Recently India lost the test series against New Zealand by 0-3. Gautam Gambhir (Pic Source-X) After Rahul Dravid stepped down from the post, Gautam Gambhir has become the head of the Indian team and under his leadership, Team India has suffered two major historic defeats. Recently, India lost the Test series against New Zealand 0-3, after which many questions have been raised regarding Gambhir’s coaching. However, Rohit Sharma has defended him. Meanwhile, former Pakistan cricketer Basit Ali has called Rahul Dravid a better coach than Gautam Gambhir. Basit said that Rahul Dravid was a smart coach who knew what kind of pitch India needed to prepare to win on home soil. In the video shared on his YouTube channel, Basit Ali said that Rahul Dravid’s mind is better than Gautam Gambhir. Dravid made pitches for four days where the ball took turn in the last few days. Now you are making such pitches, where even a person who is not a regular spinner is getting a lot from the first day. Dravid knew the psychology of players – Basit Ali Basit Ali also said that Rahul Dravid was a good coach. He knew the psychology of the players. If you ask Virat Kohli to play T10 and T20 in Test cricket, then it is not fair in any way. Let us tell you that Gambhir’s tenure as India’s head coach has had a disappointing start. Under his leadership, the Indian team lost its bilateral series against Sri Lanka in 27 years. After the New Zealand series, Team India will now tour Australia for the Border-Gavaskar series in November. India needs to win this series 4-0 to make it to the World Test Championship final.
Captain Rohit Sharma came to the defense of head coach Gambhir who is facing criticism, said- he needs more time…
Rohit Sharma was seen defending head coach Gautam Gambhir. Rohit Sharma (Photo Source: India has faced a 3-0 defeat in the series against New Zealand on its home soil. Since then, head coach Gautam Gambhir has been the target of fans on social media. Let us tell you that during the entire series, the performance of the team led by Rohit Sharma with the bat was very poor. They could never put pressure on the visiting team. Kane Williamson and Tim Southee were not with the Kiwi team, yet they whitewashed India 3-0 for the first time in a Test series in India. This was India’s second whitewash defeat under the leadership of Gautam Gambhir. Earlier, Sri Lanka had whitewashed India 3-0 in the ODI series. Therefore, questions are being raised on coach Gambhir whether he is suitable or not. Meanwhile, Rohit Sharma was seen defending coach Gambhir and said that the coaching unit is very new and it is the responsibility of the players to help them settle in well. Captain Rohit Sharma defended head coach Gautam Gambhir Rohit said in the press conference after India’s 25-run defeat in the third Test in Mumbai, they (coaching staff) have been good. He hasn’t got much time. It is the responsibility of the players to also help them get results, to ensure that we are in touch with their thought process. It is too early to judge anything right now. Rohit is still not sure about his availability for the first Test against Australia in Perth. He had informed BCCI a few months ago about the possibility of dropping the first match. Hence, India have included Abhimanyu Easwaran as a back-up opener and he is expected to partner with Yashasvi Jaiswal in Rohit’s absence. Rohit said that he is still unsure about his availability.
