Gautam Gambhir's first assignment in red-ball cricket ended in success, as team India thrashed Bangladesh 2-0 in the recently-concluded Test series.
India currently sit on top of the table in World Test Championship 2023-25, and have a very good chance of sealing their berth in the final to be played at the iconic Lord's Cricket Ground next year.

Rohit Sharma captains the side alongside Jasprit Bumrah as vice-captain, and the squad has seen no changes in the 15-man squad that featured against Bangladesh.
The batting order looks absolutely stacked and Yashasvi Jaiswal stands a brilliant chance of completing 1000 Test runs in 2024.
If the first two Tests go in favour of India, fans might see Sarfaraz Khan make a cut in the playing XI at his home ground, as India will be playing the final Tetst match of the series at Wankhede Stadium.
India’s squad for the three Tests against New Zealand: Rohit Sharma (C), Jasprit Bumrah (VC), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Sarfaraz Khan, Rishabh Pant (WK), Dhruv Jurel (WK), Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammad Siraj, Akash Deep
