ABP News  

Gautam Gambhir Press Conference: Indian Cricket Team head coach, Gautam Gambhir, has addressed the media during the Pre-Departure Press Conference on Monday, November 11, and during the press conference, the World Cup winner has fired shots at Australia legend Ricky Ponting. Gautam Gambhir's stern reply has come in the aftermath of Ricky Ponting's latest comments on Virat Kohli, as India and Australia gear up for the all-elusive Border-Gavaskar Trophy series starting November 22, with the first Test scheduled to be played at Perth Stadium, followed by a Day-Night Pink Ball Test match at Adelaide Oval. 'Not Focused On WTC Final; BGT Remains Priority': Gautam Gambhir The Indian head coach has confirmed that the side are eyeing BGT series as their priority for now, and not the World Test Championship final, as the 2021 and 2023 WTC runners-up are in dire need of a minimum 4-0 series victory against Australia to automatically qualify for 2025 Final. The current ICT coach has come under heavy criticism in the aftermath of India's historic 3-0 Test series defeat at home to New Zealand, to which he said that he 'accepts the criticism, and 'India were outplayed'.
