Gautam Gambhir returns to India, after taking important decisions due to family reasons
Team India is currently on a tour of Australia, where a five-match Test series of Border Gavaskar Trophy is going on between the two teams. The first match of the series was played in Perth, in which Team India performed brilliantly and defeated Australia by 295 runs to take a 1-0 lead in the series. However, now a new news is coming out, which is related to Indian team head coach Gautam Gambhir.
Why is Gautam Gambhir returning to India?
According to a report in India Today, Gautam is suddenly returning to India due to serious family reasons. It is being told that this decision has been taken due to some personal reasons related to his family. However, Gambhir’s return to India is only temporary, as he will reach Australia again before the second Test match and join Team India.
After the Perth Test, Team India has to play a two-day practice match in Canberra, which will start from November 30. Gautam Gambhir will not be with the team in this practice match. However, before the second Test match, he will reach Adelaide with Team India. This test match will start from December 6, where Indian captain Rohit Sharma is also going to return. Rohit Sharma, who was out of the team due to injury in the first Test match, will now return to the field taking over the captaincy.
Great performance of Team India in Perth Test
The Indian team played brilliantly in the Perth Test. Jasprit Bumrah captained the team and along with excellent bowling, he also displayed excellent batting. In the first Test match played in Perth, the Indian team defeated host Australia in both batting and bowling departments. In this match, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Virat Kohli scored centuries, which proved to be a big achievement for Team India.
Apart from this, Jasprit Bumrah was adjudged Man of the Match for his excellent bowling. Bumrah troubled the Australian batsmen with his excellent bowling and gave Team India a decisive lead in the match.
upcoming second test match
Now preparations for the next test match have started for Team India. The performance of the Indian team will be even more important in the second Test match to be played in Adelaide from 6 December. In this match, Team India will have to give all its strength to maintain its strong position, and this time the return of captain Rohit Sharma can give the team even more strength.
These changes related to the return of Gautam Gambhir and the preparation of Team India can prove to be important for the team’s upcoming matches.
