With the end of the IPL 2025 season, now the eyes are on Team India’s tour of England. The Indian team will leave for England midnight of 5-6 June. Team India has to play a 5 Test match series on England tour. But even before this series starting from June 20, Team India’s head coach Gautam Gambhir has said such a thing, which is a warning for Team India but can also give tension to the fans. Gambhir has said that even after scoring 1000 runs in England, victory will not be guaranteed. But why did the head coach say this?
Before leaving for England tour, coach Gautam Gambhir said this during the press conference in Mumbai on Thursday 5 June. In this press conference with Gambhir, Team India’s new Test captain Shubman Gill was also facing the media for the first time after getting the captaincy. During this, Gill told about his captaincy style to Team India’s preparations.
It is necessary to take 20 wickets to win
On the other hand, coach Gautam Gambhir spoke very clearly in his own style that how many difficulties would be in England. Gautam Gambhir, who has a 2-3 tour of England with Team India, knows that the circumstances of England will be very difficult and only by scoring a lot of runs in it will not get a guarantee of victory. Gambhir said, “In England, not only the field, but also the sky also plays a big role. There is no guarantee of victory by scoring 1000 runs. Only you can win only 20 wickets.”
After Gambhir became a coach, Team India recently won the Champions Trophy title but the performance in Test cricket has been continuously poorly. In such a situation, when asked that there will be more pressure on him this time after the previous results, Gambhir said, “Whenever I represent Team India, there is always pressure in it. There is a pressure in every series. If this question was asked before the New Zealand series, I would say that there is pressure.”
