This was the reason why he was able to make it to the Indian team for India’s upcoming Test series against Bangladesh. However, now the news is coming that in the first Test match against Bangladesh, KL Rahul may be given preference in the playing eleven instead of Sarfaraz Khan. Recently, a senior source of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has also given a big statement regarding this. BCCI source gave a big statement Let us tell you that in a recent interview with The Wire, a senior BCCI source said – People from outside do not understand how a team works and what systems are in place. In his last three Test matches, KL Rahul scored a century in South Africa, which is one of the best Test innings in recent times and in the last Test he played in Hyderabad before the injury, he scored 86 runs. He was not dropped from the team, but he got injured. But now he is fit and available. He scored a half-century in the Duleep Trophy, and when he got time, he started. The source further said- Sarfaraz Khan has done everything right, but if he gets injured, he will be out of the team, but Rahul’s experience is irreplaceable. And the team management is looking at him not only against Bangladesh but also against Australia, where experience matters. Indian team for the first test match against Bangladesh Rohit Sharma (captain), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Sarfaraz Khan, Rishabh Pant (wicketkeeper), Dhruv Jurel (wicketkeeper), R Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Siraj, Akash Deep, Jasprit Bumrah, Yash Dayal.
BCCI source gave a big statement saying- The biggest challenge for Gautam Gambhir will be to manage the superstars
Gambhir is going to take up this responsibility from the ODI series against Sri Lanka. Gautam Gambhir (Pic Source-X) The ongoing T20I series against Sri Lanka was Gautam Gambhir’s first appointment as coach of any cricket team. But the real challenge for Gambhir will begin next month, when from August 2, he will have to join the ODI team, which includes some of the biggest names of Indian and international cricket. So, according to ESPN Cricinfo’s reports on this issue, a source closely associated with the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) says that the biggest challenge for the Indian team’s head coach Gambhir will be to manage the superstars, which include big names like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Jaspreet Bumrah. Managing these players is not going to be easy for Gambhir. BCCI source gave a big statement Let us tell you that a BCCI source said about Gautam Gambhir- Managing these players is not an easy task. It is not like a franchise where you are the boss and you have your terms and conditions. That will not work here. You will have to pick up the phone in the dressing room of the Indian cricket team, talk to the players, in which Rahul Dravid was quite adept. The source further said- When Dravid joined this system, he found it a different kind of challenge, because the cricket scenario has changed a lot since his retirement. Every player is a millionaire and captains their respective franchise teams. So, this is going to be a big challenge for Gambhir. Also, according to the report, Gautam Gambhir has talked to veteran all-rounder Hardik Pandya and told him what he wants from him. For this, Gambhir has also requested the selectors committee that the all-rounder should be available for selection at all times.
