Gautam Gambhir suddenly took this big decision after losing the Test series to New Zealand
Gautam Gambhir Big Decision: After losing the Test series against New Zealand, Team India's head coach Gautam Gambhir has come into action mode. Now his eyes are on saving the honor by winning the Mumbai Test. Because of this, he has suddenly made a big decision.
The Black Caps have taken an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-Test home series between India and New Zealand after winning the first two Tests. The Indian team is now facing severe criticism. The head coach of Team India, Gautam Gambhir, is now in full action after his team lost the Test series against New Zealand at home ground. In order to prevent a clean sweep, Gambhir's focus is now on the third and final Test of the series, which will be contested in Mumbai. Gautam Gambhir has made a major and tough decision for this.
The defeat in the Test series after 12 years on home ground has sent a strong message from the management to all the players of Team India. This time, the team management has made it clear that before the third Test in Mumbai, no optional practice session will be held, which clearly means now all the players will have to participate in the main practice session. It is known, earlier some players used to skip the main session and then also used to skip the optional session.
Actually, in a report by Indian Express, all the players have now been instructed to take part in a two-day practice session ahead of the third Test starting in Mumbai from November 1. The session has been scheduled on 30 and 31 October, to which everyone's participation will be mandatory. No player gets away from it. Let us inform you that the team management had allowed the players to leave the nets a day before the match so that they could be refreshed before the test, but now this exemption will not be available.
The Indian team management will organize a two-day practice session in Mumbai on 30 and 31 October. The very next day, November 1, the Indian team will play the third and last Test of the series at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Many players, including Rohit Sharma, come from Mumbai, and they must have planned to rest on Diwali day on 31 October, but now they will not be able to do so.
Regarding Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium, Team India has not lost a test here since 2012. It last lost against England in November 2012. On the other hand, in its 26 tests played so far in Wankhede, Team India has won 12 and lost 7, while 7 tests were drawn.
