Last month in August, it was reported by Dainik Jagran that Gautam Gambhir is all set to part ways with Lucknow Super Ginats (LSG). "After Andy Flower, Gautam Gambhir will now leave the IPL franchise. I can’t say anything further beyond this," a source told Dainik Jagran. Gambhir's recent meetup with Shah Rukh Khan has now given hype to speculations regarding his much-anticipated homecoming to Kolkata Knight Riders.
Gautam Gambhir's warning for team India ahead of ODI World Cup 2023
Gambhir pointed out one sector in India's team composition that needs attention ahead of ODI World Cup 2023. The veteran feels that star all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja, who has been brilliant with the bowl, needs to perform more with the bat.
"We know he (Jadeja) can bowl 10 overs on any given day on any surface. He is an amazing fielder but he will have to contribute better as a batter at No. 7 because you cannot go in with just six batters."
“If Ishan Kishan plays at No. 5, there are question marks there as well. So Ravindra Jadeja will have to win matches with batting because you might have a situation where you need 80 or 90 runs in 10 overs and the No. 6 and No. 7 batters might be playing together," Gambhir said on Star Sports.
