NDTV
India head coach Gautam Gambhir refused to confirm the future of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli in Test team.
Not someone to mince his words, India head coach Gautam Gambhir seemed to have arrived at the press conference in an aggressive mood after the team's defeat in Sydney led to Australia clinching the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. After the end of the match, head coach Gautam Gambhir arrived at the press conference at Sydney Cricket Ground and answered some burning questions from reporters. One of those questions was about the future of seniors in the team, including skipper Rohit Sharma and talismanic batter Virat Kohli.
While Rohit missed the 5th and final match in Sydney over poor form, Kohli's future has been also up for debate, owing to his poor run of form. When Gambhir was asked about their future in India's Test team, he refused to show a clear path, saying it all depends on the 'hunger' they have.
"I can't comment on the future of any Players, it is up to them. They have the hunger and commitment - hopefully they can do everything they can to take Indian cricket forward".
Gambhir also maintained that he has to be 'fair' to everyone in the dressing room, be it an experienced member of the group or someone who hasn't even made his debut.
