The great thing you did was that you (Kohli) created a very strong bowling unit – Gautam Gambhir Virat Kohli & Gautam Gambhir (Photo Source: Getty/X) A new era of Indian Test cricket began under Virat Kohli’s captaincy. India won 40 out of 68 Test matches, which is the most Test matches won by any Indian captain in history. Kohli changed the nature of the team and focused on the growth of fast bowlers. During Virat Kohli’s tenure, bowlers like Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, Ishant Sharma and Umesh Yadav dominated in overseas conditions. Meanwhile, Indian head coach Gautam Gambhir has praised Virat Kohli for building a strong bowling line-up during his tenure. Virat has created a strong bowling unit – Gautam Gambhir During a conversation with BCCI, Gautam Gambhir told Virat Kohli, The great thing you did was that you built a very strong bowling unit. Test matches are won by taking 20 wickets. Unless you have a strong bowling line-up (one cannot win) and that is what makes you the most successful Test captain of the country. Credit goes to you. As a batsman, it is easy to have a strong six, seven batsmen, but the way you identified and more importantly, your attitude on the field with the fast bowlers. Winning overseas with bowlers like Shami, Bumrah, Ishant, Umesh. Under the leadership of Virat Kohli, India has won Test matches in England, South Africa and Australia, where the team used to struggle earlier. Let us tell you, Team India was number-1 in the ICC Test rankings from 2017-2021. Bumrah is the most complete bowler across all formats: Virat Kohli Talking about the bowling culture of Team India, Virat Kohli emphasized that Ishant Sharma has played more than 100 Test matches for India. While Zaheer Khan is one of the legendary players. He described Bumrah as an all-format bowler and Mohammed Shami as the most important player in the Test team. When you talk about Ishant Sharma, the first thing that comes to my mind is the match he played against Ricky Ponting (during the 2007-08 tour) in Perth. If you talk about his cricket career, Ishant Sharma has played more than 100 Test matches for India. Zaheer Khan has taken a lot of wickets for India in Test cricket and was brilliant in the 50-over World Cup. Mohammed Shami is not a world famous bowler because he is a great T20 bowler. He is one of the best Test bowlers in the world and what he did in the 50-over World Cup has increased his importance even more. Bumrah is the most complete bowler in all formats.
“The best ODI innings…”, said Gautam Gambhir about Virat Kohli’s 183-run innings against Pakistan in 2012

Gautam Gambhir opened up about Virat Kohli’s success in international cricket. The head coach believes that King Kohli has established a legacy that will be followed by generations to come. Gautam Gambhir said these things in praise of Virat Kohli In a video shared by BCCI, head coach Gautam Gambhir also talked about Virat Kohli’s innings played against Pakistan in Asia Cup 2012. According to Gambhir, this is the best innings played by an Indian in ODI cricket history. In that match against Pakistan, Gambhir was out on zero while chasing a target of 330 runs. Virat changed the entire game by scoring 183 runs while batting at number three and Team India registered a spectacular victory by 6 wickets in the match. Gautam Gambhir said in the video, I saw you make your debut. Played a very good, crucial innings on a difficult wicket against West Indies in the Champions Trophy in South Africa (England), against a very good attack, and then probably the best ODI innings played by an Indian. This is not entirely based on any point of view, because players have scored double centuries. This is the best innings I have seen, chasing 300+ against Pakistan… So you have come a long way. These are really special things and the most important thing is how you have taken Indian cricket forward, the legacy you have left for the next generation. Let us tell you, in December 2009, when Virat Kohli scored a century in the ODI match against Sri Lanka, Gautam Gambhir played an innings of 150 runs in the same match and was selected as the Player of the Match. But in the post-match presentation, Gambhir handed over his award to young Virat. Gambhir and Virat have played a big role in helping Team India win many big matches. But both of them have made headlines due to their clashes on the field. However, now all things are in the past and now both are working together for the betterment of Indian cricket.

Jaiswal increased Rohit’s tension, struggled against the fast bowler in the nets, had a long conversation with Virat
Yashasvi Jaiswal and Virat Kohli (Photo Source: X) Yashasvi Jaiswal struggled against the pacers in the nets on Sunday, September 15, ahead of the start of India’s first Test against Bangladesh. The Test match will be played at the iconic MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. Seeing Yashasvi Jaiswal struggling in the nets, former captain Virat Kohli and head coach Gautam Gambhir had a word with the youngster to help him regain his confidence. Let us tell you that Jaiswal failed to make an impact in the first class match in the current season as well. In the Duleep Trophy match, he returned to the pavilion cheaply on the balls of Avesh Khan and Khalil Ahmed. Before the match against Bangladesh in Chennai, Jaiswal practiced a lot against Bumrah. However, he looked troubled against net bowlers like Simarjit Singh, Gurnur Brar and Gurjanpreet Singh along with Bumrah. The ball took the outside edge of his bat many times. Yashasvi Jaiswal got bowled by Jasprit Bumrah in the nets According to a report in the Indian Express, Kohli was standing near the centre-square of the MA Chidambaram Stadium waiting for his turn to bat, where this incident took place. During this time, Jasprit Bumrah bowled Jaiswal by uprooting his middle stump in the nets. The ball hit the stump between Jaiswal’s bat and pad. After this, Jaiswal was seen talking to Virat Kohli. Virat Kohli was probably telling this young player about his shortcomings. Kohli and Jaiswal batted for about an hour in the net session. During this, Bumrah also troubled Kohli. Kohli, however, played some brilliant cover and on drives. Jaiswal looked comfortable against spin bowlers. Still, during the practice session, Jaiswal’s confidence seemed to be shaken and he was not able to adjust to the swing and bounce. However, he used his feet well against the spinners and hit some brilliant square cuts. After this, Rishabh Pant, who came for practice, did not hesitate to play aggressive shots while batting against left-arm spinners. Indian players also did fielding practice during this time, in which priority was given to the practice of catching catches in the slips.

IND vs BAN: Will Akshar Patel be included in the Indian playing XI for the Chennai Test? A big report has come out about the experienced all-rounder
Before this Test match, reports are coming out that Akshar Patel may not get a place in the Indian playing XI. Axar Patel. (Photo Source: Twitter) Team India has to play a two-match Test series against Bangladesh which is starting from 19 September. The first Test between these two teams will be played in Chennai. There is a continuous discussion about the playing XI of the Indian team for this first Test. Before this Test match, reports are coming out that Akshar Patel may not get a place in the Indian playing XI. Actually, India’s captain Rohit Sharma and coach Gautam Gambhir want to completely change the team’s lineup before the series. India has announced its team for the first match of the two-match Test series against Bangladesh. The host team has four spinners. These four spinners are Axar Patel, Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja and Kuldeep Yadav. Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja can be seen playing in the Chennai Test. However, Kuldeep Yadav can be included in the playing XI as the third spinner in the team. Before the Chennai Test, a big report came out about Akshar Patel Let us tell you that Chennai is the hometown of Ravichandran Ashwin. He knows the pitch here very well and this is the reason why Ashwin can be included in the playing XI of the first Test. Not only this, Ravindra Jadeja also has a lot of experience of playing in this venue and along with bowling and batting, he can also play an important role in the victory of the Indian team with fielding. Apart from these two players, the Indian team will desperately need a main spinner and that is why Kuldeep Yadav can be included in the team as the third spinner. However, Axar Patel’s performance has been very good in the recent times. In the Duleep Trophy 2024, playing for India D, he scored 86 runs and 28 runs against India C. Not only this, Akshar Patel also performed brilliantly in bowling. It will be very difficult for Gautam Gambhir to decide who should be included in the Indian playing XI in the first Test between Akshar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav.
