Gautam Gambhir Backs Team Ahead of Australia Test

India's cricket coach Gautam Gambhir has expressed confidence in skipper Rohit Sharma and star batter Virat Kohli ahead of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series against Australia, despite India's recent 0-3 home loss to New Zealand. Rohit is likely to miss the opening Test in Perth on November 22 due to the birth of his second child, with pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah set to lead the team in his absence. Gambhir dismissed concerns about the team's transition and emphasized the hunger of senior players to perform well. The Indian team is eager to redeem themselves after the recent defeat, knowing that a strong performance is crucial for their World Test Championship qualification. Gambhir also noted that the team is prepared to face the challenges posed by Australia's quicker pitches. The coach remains optimistic about the team's capabilities despite external pressures and criticisms.
