India vs England Test | Big challenge without Rohit and Virat | Gautam Gambhir

New Delhi. India has to play a Test series against England from June 20. Team India will descend without Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli in this series who have recently retired from Test cricket. India’s head coach Gautam Gambhir admitted that the absence of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma would be a big challenge for the team but said that his retirement from Test cricket has made a chance to take responsibility for other players.

Rohit and Virat said goodbye to Test cricket within a week. The two made this announcement before the five -Test tour of England next month. Gambhir told CNN News18, “I believe when you start playing and want to finish, this is a personal decision.” No one else has rights. Be it the coach, the selector or anyone else in the country, does anyone have the right to tell anyone when to retire and when not. This is its own decision. ”

He said, “We will go without our two most senior experienced players. Many times I think it is also a chance for other players to prove their utility. This will be difficult but there will be players who will be ready to take responsibility. I was also asked this question before the Champions Trophy. When Jaspreet was not Bumrah, I had said the same thing. Due to no one, another player gets a chance to do something special. Hopefully there will be players who will be waiting for this opportunity. ‘

Gambhir compared India to India’s victory in the Champions Trophy which was found in the absence of Jasprit Bumrah. Virat and Rohit will continue to play ODI cricket. On asking whether the two will be in the 2027 ODI World Cup team, Gambhir said, “There is a lot of time in it. Before that T20 World Cup is to be held. This is a big tournament which will be held in India in February March. Right now the entire focus is on him. ”
