Gambhir revealed his opinion about the current Bangladesh team after they lost to the hosts in the 2-match Test series earlier. He noted how the current competitive teams could help the emerging ones in their exposure to cricket.
Gambhir applauded Sourav Ganguly’s step to lay the foundations for India’s first-ever pink-ball Test match. More than 50,000 fans showed up in the Eden Gardens (Kolkata) to witness the spectacle. He expressed his desire for a pink-ball Final in the Ranji Trophy as well.
The hosts India defeated Bangladesh in their first-ever day/night Test match against Bangladesh by an innings and 46 runs, courtesy of nine wickets from Ishant Sharma and Virat Kohli’s 27th Test century.
It was the second time where all wickets taken by the bowlers were from the pacers instead of spinners. Gambhir believes the reason for Bangladesh’s failure in the day/night Test conditions is that their batsmen were not able to face a quality pace attack from India.
Recently, the Delhi & District Cricket Association (DDCA) honoured Gautam Gambhir by naming a stand on his name at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi.
