Focusing On Red-ball Cricket Will Help Advance Indian Cricket: Gambhir

MA Chidambaram Stadium: As India geared up for the Test series against Bangladesh, all eyes are not just on the players but also on the new leadership of the team. Gautam Gambhir, the former Indian opener and now the head coach of Team India, will take his first red-ball assignment on Thursday when India plays its first Test match at MA Chidambaram Stadium.

Ahead of the series opener against Bangladesh, Gambhir opened up about his vision, the importance of red-ball cricket, and the hunger that drives both senior and emerging players.

"Indian cricket is fortunate to have players like Ashwin, Virat, Rohit, Bumrah, Jadeja, and others who prioritise red-ball cricket over the other formats. They believe that Test cricket is the most important format and where they can leave a lasting legacy. This mindset needs to be instilled in the younger generation," Gambhir said on Jio Cinema.
