Gautam Gambhir: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) secretary Jay Shah has appointed former left-handed opener Gautam Gambhir as the head of Team India (ICT) after Rahul Dravid's tenure as head coach ended.

Earlier, Gambhir was playing the role of mentor for Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL. After Gautam Gambhir took over the responsibility of head coach, a player who is getting consistent opportunities in the team despite poor performance in Team India can be shown the door.

Gautam Gambhir can exclude this player

Indian cricket team's fast bowler Mohammad Siraj has been a part of Team India for a long time and despite poor performance, he has been getting opportunities continuously. In such a situation, many talented players have had to sit out. In such a situation, as soon as Gautam Gambhir takes over the responsibility of head coach, Mohammad Siraj can be dropped from Team India's T20I team and Gambhir can give a chance to the talented players sitting on the bench in his place.

Mohammad Siraj's stats in T20I

Mohammed Siraj, who plays for Virat Kohli's Royal Challengers Bangalore in the Indian Premier League, has participated in 13 T20I matches for Team India and during this time he has conceded runs at the rate of about 8 runs per over and during this his bowling average has been very ordinary and he has conceded runs at an average of more than 30. During this, he has taken 13 wickets. At the same time, he got only one wicket in three matches of T20 World Cup 2024.

Gambhir can give a chance to Mayank Yadav in place of Mohammad Siraj

Team India head coach Gautam Gambhir may give a chance to fast bowling sensation Mayank Yadav, who plays for Lucknow Super Giants in IPL, in place of Mohammad Siraj in Team India's squad on the upcoming Sri Lanka tour. Mayank Yadav took 7 wickets in four matches for LSG in IPL 2024. Along with this, he regularly bowls at a speed of 150 kilometers per hour. Mayank Yadav got injured in the middle of IPL and could play only four matches. However, he can soon regain fitness and return to the field.
