Gautam Gambhir faces scrutiny as India's head coach after a series loss in Australia, especially focusing on star players' performance. Former Pakistan batter Basit Ali suggests Gambhir should follow Pakistan coach Aaqib Javed's formula to end the superstar culture.

Gambhir makes it clear that he wants Test hopefuls to take domestic cricket seriously, and play the Ranji Trophy if they are not committed elsewhere

Virat Kohli last played a Ranji Trophy match in 2012 while Rohit Sharma's most recent domestic red-ball game was in the 2015-16 season.

India head coach Gautam Gambhir stressed the need for players to consistently participate in domestic cricket following the team’s 1-3 series loss to Australia in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25.

Both the stars were woefully out of form during the just-concluded Test series against Australia that the visitors lost 1-3 to surrender the Border-Gavaskar Trophy as well as a spot in the World Test Championship final.

India head coach Gautam Gambhir said struggling stars Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli still have the hunger to excel and will decide on their Test future keeping the team's best interest in mind. Gambhir's comments on the two veterans came after India's 1-3 series loss in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

Although India head coach Gautam Gambhir did not name anyone, but his message was a clear indication towards Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma to head back to domestic cricket and find their mojo.

India coach Gautam Gambhir said veteran batters Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli still have a future in the team if they want it, despite disappointing returns on the test tour of Australia. The tourists went down 3-1 in the series after losing the fifth test by six wickets on Sunday to relinquish the Border-Gavaskar Trophy for the first time in a decade.

Gautam Gambhir believes Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma maintain their hunger and passion, despite recent poor performance in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Kohli’s and Rohit's recent struggles have raised questions about their future in Test cricket.

Rohit Sharma made just 31 runs in three Test matches of the 2024-25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy while Virat Kohli scored 190 runs in five matches at an average of 23.75.

Gautam Gambhir addressed Team India's decision to play the Sydney Test without skipper Rohit Sharma in an unprecedented move. There have been rumours about a potential rift between Gambhir and Rohit.
