Apart from this, Gambhir also talked about the 2027 ODI World Cup and in the press conference he said, “Look, first of all we have to understand that there are still two years left for the ODI World Cup. The most important thing is to live in the present.”
He further said, “It’s also important that the young players coming into the team take advantage of their opportunities, someone like Ruturaj Gaikwad, who batted out of his position. He’s a quality player, we all know that. We wanted to give him a chance in this series because of the form he was in with India A. He really grabbed that opportunity with both hands, scoring a century in the second game when we were under pressure, we were 40 for 2, and then scoring a century like that is a sign of good quality.”
