Gautam Gambhir: Team India's new head coach Gautam Gambhir's tenure has begun for the Indian team. The upcoming Sri Lanka tour is going to be his first task. Let us tell you that after the departure of Rahul Dravid, this big responsibility has been handed over to Gambhir (Gautam Gambhir).
Gauti has started building the team afresh as soon as he joined the Indian team. Many important changes have been made in the team selected for the Sri Lanka tour. Some players have made an entry, while many veterans have been shown the way out. A veteran cricketer did not find a place in the team, which made it clear that his career in white ball cricket is now over.
All-rounder Ravindra Jadeja retired from this format just days after the end of the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 played recently in the USA and West Indies.
However, he is still officially eligible to play ODIs and Tests.Despite this, Gautam Gambhir dropped him from the team. However, Jadeja's current statistics are not so bad that he cannot be included in the 15-member squad.
