Gautam Gambhir’s stern message after India’s BGT 2024-25 loss: ‘I would want everyone to play domestic cricket if they…’
Live MintIndia head coach Gautam Gambhir said he wants every cricketer to play domestic cricket if they are committed towards red-ball cricket after their 1-3 loss against Australia in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy on Sunday. While Gambhir didn't name anyone, his message clearly indicates the need for seniors like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma to go back to the domestic circuit and find their mojo before India's next Test series against England. If you don't give importance to domestic cricket, you will never get the desired players that you want," Gambhir said at the post-match press conference on Sunday. Gambhir's comments come after senior players in the side, like Kohli and Rohit, avoided playing domestic cricket despite being repeatedly asked by the BCCI top brass to play.
