Gautam Gambhir Not Alone!! 2 Indian Players Conspired Virat Kohli-rohit Sharma's Retirements

Before the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy 2025 series, India head coach Gautam Gambhir moved away from the methods used during the Dravid era. Gambhir's tactics boosted the performances of Shubman Gill, Rishabh Pant, and several other players following India's disappointing series against Australia.

After a 1-3 defeat in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, Team India returned to England with the same squad, excluding Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. The team now faced the added challenge of playing with the Dukes' ball in English conditions, which is tougher than using the Kookaburra ball in Australia.

Gautam Gambhir made a key difference in Team India's approach. According to a report in The Indian Express, he replaced outdated methods with more effective and reliable strategies, which significantly improved the performances of key players, including the captain and vice-captain.
