Indian cricket team head coach Gautam Gambhir has concluded his press-conference ahead of the BGT series. Don't forget to catch the live coverage of the upcoming India vs Australia series on our page. Till then, it's goodbye.
Gautam Gambhir will address the press soon from Mumbai before flying Down Under for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
Gautam Gambhir presser gets underway. 'GG' says 'if Rohit is not available, we have got Easwaran and KL in Australia. We will take a call.
Conditions will be challenging Down Under. Says, we will be ready to fire from ball one.
NZ outplayed us in all departments in the series. Rohit and I have shared a great partnership. Australia is a new opponent and try to win the series.
“The bowling coach and the physio felt he had played enough. It is important for a pacer to get some rest as well,” Gambhir says about Harshit Rana joining the Indian team during the New Zealand tour rather than playing in the Ranji Trophy.
Not at all says GG on Rohit and Kohli's form. Gambhir fires back at Ricky Ponting's statement on the senior statesmen in the team. Says Ponting should think about Australian cricket, what concerns he has for Indian cricket.
GG says conditions not on our hands. We will play on all conditions and give it our best in the five-match series.
We have enough time to prepare for the Pink Ball Test match.
Jasprit Bumrah will lead India in Perth Test if Rohit Sharma is not available: Gambhir.
Don't believe. Will keep happening but will focus on the Test cricket and the upcoming series.
How many countries has players like KL, who can open and can bat at 6 and can also keep.
