Gautam Gambhir: After the end of Rahul Dravid's tenure as the head coach of the Indian cricket team, the BCCI may soon hand over the responsibility of Team India's next head coach to Gautam Gambhir. Recently, Gautam Gambhir's farewell video was filmed at KKR's home ground Eden Gardens.

After this, speculations intensified that Gambhir (Gautam Gambhir) will soon leave the post of KKR mentor and start working as the head coach of Team India. In such a situation, if Gambhir takes over the responsibility of Team India's head coach, then he can give a last chance to 6 players of the Indian cricket team, who are currently out of the team.

Gautam Gambhir will give these players a last chance

If Gautam Gambhir takes over the responsibility of Team India's head coach, then he can give a last chance to the 6 players who are out of the team.

In this list, he can give a last chance to test specialist Cheteshwar Pujara, Ajinkya Rahane, Hanuma Vihari, Umesh Yadav, Ishant Sharma and Bhuvneshwar Kumar. In such a situation, if these players perform well after selection in Team India, then they will get a place in the team otherwise they will be dropped from the team forever.

Pujara played his last match in June 2023 while Bhuvneshwar played his last match in 2018

Fast bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar played his last Test match for Team India against South Africa in January 2018, Ishant Sharma played his last Test in November 2021, Hanuma Vihari against England in July 2022, Ajinkya Rahane against South Africa in January 2022 and fast bowlers Umesh Yadav and Cheteshwar Pujara played their last Test match in the final of the World Test Championship in June 2023.

Probable Indian team for New Zealand Test series

These fifteen players may be selected in Team India for the New Zealand Test series.

However, for many of these players, this will be the last chance to prove themselves. In such a situation, there will be pressure on these players to perform well and secure a place in Team India.

Team India: Rohit Sharma (captain), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli, Ajinkya Rahane, Rishabh Pant (wicketkeeper), Hanuma Vihari, Ishant Sharma, Umesh Yadav, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Jasprit Bumrah, Ravichandran Ashwin, Kuldeep Yadav, Shubman Gill, Dhruv Jurel (wicketkeeper).
