Cancel the holiday immediately..!? Gambhir raised the war flag..?
While Gambhir has been officially appointed as the head coach of the indian cricket team, there is a problem for captain rohit sharma and Virat Kohli. virat kohli, rohit sharma, Jadeja are currently on holiday after winning the t20 World Cup. It was also reported that virat kohli and rohit sharma will not participate in the one-day series against Sri Lanka. Both of them have said that they are taking a break when they get time for it as there are a lot of Test matches going on.
Due to this, currently virat kohli is in london with his wife. At this stage, india will play only a few ODIs before the Champions Trophy series. The indian team is forced to build a team for that. Thus, Gambhir insisted that the seniors should play in all the three ODIs against Sri Lanka. But the chances of that happening are slim, so Gambhir becomes adamant. bcci has requested to cancel the leave given to the seniors. Gambhir also said that since virat kohli and rohit sharma are not going to play in the t20 series, they will get a lot of rest. But it seems that Gambhir's speech was not taken. Due to this, the selection committee has decided to select the team under the leadership of KL Rahul.
Through this, the information about what Gambhir is going to do has been revealed. bcci has also told Gambhir that senior players like virat kohli and Rohit are not needed as the Sri Lankan team is currently lacking in strength. Gambhir feels there is some justification for this, but it remains to be seen what will happen.
