Team India now has to play a 5 -match Test series against England, which starts from June 20. In this Test series, players of both teams will be expected to perform strong. Team India will be specially monitored, because this time she will land on the field with new captain and many inexperienced players. In such a situation, the pressure will be on the players to deal with the difficult challenge of England. But not only the players, but before the Test series, India team head coach Gautam Gambhir is also feeling pressure and he himself has accepted this.
Why are serious under pressure?
In this Test series, India team will be seen captaining Shubman Gill, while Rishabh Pant has been appointed as vice -captain. Team India has now reached England for this tour. But before leaving for England, coach Gautam Gambhir surprised everyone with one of his statements. In a press conference held in Komumbar on Thursday 5 June, Gautam Gambhir said that he is always under pressure. Gambhir said, ‘I am always under pressure whether we have got a good result or not. If you had asked me this question even after the series against New Zealand, I would say yes. After the tour of Australia, I was under considerable pressure. I am still under pressure after the Champions Trophy because you want the result as a coach. You want the result of every match in your favor.
India team won the Champions Trophy 2025 in Gautam Gambhir’s coaching. He won the Champions Trophy 2025 final against New Zealand. Gautam Gambhir’s coaching was fantastic in this tournament. However, despite this, there is a lot of pressure in the Test series against England. He himself has spoken this thing. One of the reasons for this is Team India’s performance in Test cricket. Since the arrival of Gambhir, Team India has lost 2 of 3 Test series.
