On the question of defeat in the series in Sri Lanka, Gambhir’s answer is, there is a difference between Test and ODI

Chennai. The Indian team will play a Test series for the first time under the coaching of new coach Gautam Gambhir. This veteran’s start as a coach was not good. The team that went to tour Sri Lanka lost the ODI. India’s head coach Gautam Gambhir, ignoring the recent struggle of the Indian batsmen against a good spin attack, said on Tuesday that his batsmen are fully capable of facing any kind of attack in the world.

Gambhir told the media ahead of the two-Test series against Bangladesh that the bowling quartet of Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja changed India’s trend of giving importance to batting.

When asked why Indian batsmen struggled against spinners in the limited-overs series against Sri Lanka last month, especially in the ODIs, Gambhir said, “Our batting unit has so much quality that it can face any kind of attack. There is a lot of difference between Tests and ODIs.”

Gambhir also praised his bowlers. He said, “India used to give importance to batting at one time but Bumrah, Shami, Ashwin and Jadeja made it a bowler’s game.”

Indian team: Rohit Sharma (captain), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Sarfaraz Khan, Rishabh Pant (wicketkeeper), Dhruv Jurel (wicketkeeper), Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Siraj, Akashdeep, Jasprit Bumrah, Yash Dayal.
