Gautam Gambhir's school in the dressing room

Under the captaincy of Suryakumar Yadav, the young players performed brilliantly and won the three-match T20 series 3-0. After this victory, Gautam Gambhir had a long conversation with the players in the dressing room. Congratulating the players for winning the series in the dressing room, Gambhir said, 'Congratulations to all of you for the victory.' Suryakumar Yadav captained brilliantly. He also made an important contribution with the bat. I had said even before the series started that we should not give up hope till the last minute. We improved our skills. The score was equal but we fought.
Gave strict instructions regarding fitness
After winning the T20 series, Gautam Gambhir has given a clear message to the players that they do not need to be happy with this series win. This series will not be a part of the ODI format. In such a situation, it is very important for the players to keep themselves fit for the long format. Gambhir further told the players that after this series we will be on a long break alone. I hope all of you will come back for the Bangladesh Test series. You can go on holidays. But for this you will have to pay more attention to your fitness and skill. I hope you will review it. Once again congratulations to everyone for the victory.
Will Hardik Pandya follow the orders of the new coach?
Team India will play a two-match Test series against Bangladesh in September, in which Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma may return but Hardik Pandya has not played a Test series for a long time. However, the board has strictly warned all the players to participate in first-class cricket. So that the player can return to the Test team by playing FC. At the same time, Gautam Gambhir has made it clear that the players will have to focus on their fitness so that they can return to the Test series against Bangladesh. In such a situation, the big question is whether star rounder Hardik Pandya will follow the orders of the new coach or will he keep distance from the Test series?
