Gautam Gambhir Statement on IND Lose vs AUS BGT 2024: The Indian team, struggling with the poor form of its top players, was out of the final of the World Test Championship (Team India Out From WTC 2025 Final) with a six-wicket defeat in the fifth and final Test here on Sunday, while Australia reached the 10th place with this win. A year later, by winning the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 3-1, they made it to the WTC final. Defending champion Australia will now play the WTC final against South Africa (SA vs AUS WTC Final) at Lord’s from 11 to 15 June.
If captain Jasprit Bumrah had been in a position to bowl despite the stiffness in his back, the target of 162 runs would have been difficult, but in his absence it was almost impossible to defend this score at the Sydney Cricket Ground. Bumrah (Jasprit Bumrah Player of the Series IND vs AUS BGT 2024) was adjudged the best player of the series for taking 32 wickets in five matches, but this was no consolation for India’s poor performance.
Coach Gambhir said on losing the series against Australia
“This was the first tour of Australia for a lot of players. Yashasvi, Nitish Reddy, Washington, Akash Deep and Siraj played brilliantly. I don’t remember any boy who scored runs on every ball. We kept fighting. We fought till the end. Fought. I can’t comment on the future of any player. It depends on the players.
Gautam Gambhir said on Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma
They have hunger and commitment. Hopefully he can do everything to take Indian cricket forward. There could have been more wisdom while writing the report. When a captain takes such a decision, I don’t think it is bad. I think everyone should keep the team first and the team as priority and Rohit Sharma did the same. (Gautam Gambhir on Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma) “Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are tough cricketers and tough players and I hope they will take Indian cricket forward.”
Gautam Gambhir further said, “My job is to be honest towards my work and also towards everyone. It is not that I give priority to just some players, but my job is to look at every player from the same perspective, even if he is debuting. Whoever is playing 100 Test matches, I would always like to see everyone playing domestic cricket. If not, then everyone You should play. If you don’t do this, you will never get the results you want.
Gautam Gambhir said – “It is too early to talk about the phase of change in the team and I do not know where we will be in five months. In this series (Gautam Gambhir on Jasprit Bumrah Performance in BGT 2024) Jasprit Bumrah has done brilliantly. He performed very well, he was incredible throughout the series.”
