Team India: Indian cricket team is currently going through changes and as part of these changes, recently Gautam Gambhir has been made the coach of Team India. Ever since Gambhir became the coach of the Indian team, a lot has been happening in the team. After becoming his coach, many former players have entered the team, while many players have been shown the door forever.
Similar is the condition of two great players of India, who are out of Team India despite scoring runs in domestic cricket. So let us know who are those two players, who are not getting a chance in the team because of Gautam Gambhir.
These two players are not getting a chance in the team
The two players who are not returning to the Indian cricket team despite scoring runs in domestic cricket include the names of Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane. For a time, both these players used to be at the top among the star batsmen of India. But now both are not given a chance in the team. Many fans believe that the current head coach of Team India, Gautam Gambhir, is behind this.
Last chance was in 2023
Let us tell you that Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane, who are among the most important players of the Indian Test team, were seen playing for Team India for the last time in the year 2023. Since then till now he has been out of the team. Pujara has played 3 matches so far in Ranji Trophy 2024-25 and during this he has scored 1 double century.
Whereas Rahane has performed brilliantly many times in his last 4 matches. He scored 97 runs against Rest of India in the recent Duleep Trophy. Whereas in his last Ranji match, he is coming after playing excellent innings of 35 and 48* runs. Looking at the strong performance of both, it was expected that both would get a chance in the Australia Test series. But this could not happen and if reports are to be believed, the reason for this is Gautam Gambhir.
Didn’t get a chance due to serious issues
According to the information received in media reports, Team India has been selected for the Border Gavaskar Trophy as per the suggestion of head coach Gautam Gambhir and due to this, Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane have not got a chance in Team India. However, nothing has been said officially regarding this, due to which nothing can be said. But there are great chances of this happening.
