How players should be selected in different formats of the team for India, Gautam Gambhir told a great way.

 

Gautam Gambhir: After Gautam Gambhir became the mentor in the Indian Premier League, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have performed brilliantly. KKR team has reached the playoffs by being first on the points table. A big news also came out amidst IPL that BCCI wants to make Gautam Gambhir the next head coach of India. At the same time, Gautam Gambhir, who appeared on Ravichandran Ashwin's YouTube show, called IPL only the basis for selection in T20 and said that domestic cricket tournaments should be given importance for selection in other formats.

Gautam Gambhir gave his opinion on team selection

In the show, Ashwin asked Gautam Gambhir, 'You said that a team should not be selected after seeing one tournament. You can look at the T20 World Cup or India's T20 setup. There are different formats. Different teams are selected for each format all over the world. As you can see from the 2007 T20 World Cup, England had made a completely different team for T20. How will you select players for the international team?

Answering this question of Ashwin boldly, Gautam Gambhir said, 'T20 World Cup and India's T20 team should be selected from IPL. The ODI format should be selected considering the performance of the players in Vijay Hazare Trophy and the selection for Test should be done on the basis of Ranji Trophy. Because if you select players in ODI format or Test from a tournament like IPL, then it will be a very shortcut thing. Because many young players do not focus on red ball cricket and ODI format. In such a situation, it will be exactly like walking on the shore.

Let us tell you that a few days ago the news had come out that the Board of Control for Cricket in India wants to make Gautam Gambhir the head coach of the Indian team. Actually, after the T20 World Cup, the tenure of current head coach Rahul Dravid is about to end. In such a situation, BCCI is searching for a new coach for the Indian team. Now it remains to be seen whether Gambhir shows interest in this post or not.
