Before the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, Team India's coach has denied any kind of pressure. On Ricky Ponting's statement, he said that he should focus on his cricket.

Gambhir held a press conference before the team left for Australia. Gambhir was in front of the media at a time when Team India has lost the Test series 3-0 to New Zealand at home.

Gambhir said, "I am not under any pressure. The seniors of the team will return in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT). If Rohit is not available in the Perth Test, then Bumrah can captain."

Team India will play a 5-Test match series in Australia. The match will start from November 22 in Perth. The last Test will be played between January 3-7.

Virat-Rohit

Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli did not perform well in the 3-match series against New Zealand. New Zealand did a clean sweep. Rohit Sharma scored a total of 91 runs in 3 matches. Kohli's score was 93 runs. Gambhir said, 'Both of them still have a great hunger for performance and runs. Both will return in Australia. There are many great players in our dressing room, who have played great cricket.'

Ricky Ponting

Former Australian captain Ricky Ponting recently said on Kohli's form that he has been able to score only 2 centuries in the last 5 years. He also said that Team India will not be able to perform well in BGT and will lose all the matches. On this, Gautam Gambhir said that Ponting should focus on Australian cricket, what does he have to do with Indian cricket.

Defeat and pressure from New Zealand

After the Test series defeat from New Zealand, some reports claimed that there will be a lot of pressure on Gambhir in BGT. If he does not give good results, he can be removed from the post of Indian coach. On the question of pressure, Gambhir said, 'I am not under any pressure. We are facing criticism. We are accepting it openly. We need to move forward. We are going to play a new series in Australia.'

Australian conditions

Coach Gambhir said that I am not thinking about the players adjusting to the Australian environment. Nor am I thinking about the transition phase of the team. Change or not, I am thinking about 5 Test matches. There are some strong characters in our dressing room, who have the hunger to do well.'

Rohit Sharma

There is a possibility that Rohit Sharma may not be able to play the first Test in Perth due to personal reasons. On this, Gambhir said that if Rohit does not play, then Jasprit Bumrah will captain. He is the vice-captain of the team. In this condition, KL Rahul and Abhimanyu Easwaran can open in place of Rohit.
