Team India is trailing in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. After the end of four matches, Australia has taken a 2-1 lead in the series. Now from Friday, January 3, both teams will play the fifth and final Test match of the series in Sydney. Before this, Indian team’s head coach Gautam Gambhir held a press conference. In the press conference, Gambhir answered all the questions frankly. Gautam Gambhir said in the press conference, “Everything is under control. We can draw the series in Sydney. It is not that batting or bowling has not done well in this series so far. If that was the case, we would not have won a single match.” He further said, “I think as long as you have honest people, Indian cricket will be in safe hands. The only thing that can keep you in the dressing room is performance. We have to give time to the youth.” The Indian head coach further said, “Whatever happens between the player and the coach should remain between them. You just look at the result. This game is focused only on the result. There has been only one talk with Rohit Sharma, and that is about winning the Sydney Test. We have only talked about how to win the fifth Test. Apart from this, we did not have any other conversation.”
Akashdeep out of the fifth Test
Head coach Gautam Gambhir has given a big update regarding the playing eleven in the press conference. He told that fast bowler Akashdeep will not play in the fifth Test. He has a back issue. Gambhir said that we will look at the wicket and then decide on the playing eleven. When asked about Rohit Sharma’s statement on Rishabh Pant, Gambhir said, I do not want to talk about anyone in particular. This is a team sport.
