"Whether there is a transition or not, those things will still happen in Indian cricket," Gambhir said of the team's "transition."
Regarding Washington Sundar's addition to the squad and pace roster, Gautam Gambhir said:
"When we chose him, you guys were criticizing him. The emergence of the next generation of cricket players is beneficial for Indian cricket.
"We are of high caliber. Prasidh and Harshit are two of our players who are capable of hitting the deck. Each of the five men possesses a unique set of skills. Our rapid bowling attack is therefore really powerful.
"We have no control over the wickets they provide. We've covered every base. They provide green wickets, twisting tracks, and bouncy tracks, among other things. We still need to play to the best of our abilities. On Australian fields, Gambhir declared, "If we do this, we can beat anyone on any wicket."
"The best team has been selected. It's about taking action. Gambhir on ignoring Shardul Thakur for the Test series: "Nitish will do the job for us when needed."
"How is Ponting related to cricket in India? Gambhir responded to Ponting's comments regarding Kohli's form by saying, "He ought to consider Australian cricket."
"The most important thing will be preparation. Regarding the difficulties before the Australia tour, Gambhir stated, "These ten days are going to be very crucial for the Day 1 of the first Test."
The vice captain is Jasprit Bumrah. Gambhir affirms that Rohit will be the team's captain in the event that he is unable to play, giving the India pacer the opportunity to take charge.
Gambhir responded to inquiries about KL Rahul's form by asking, "How many countries have players like KL, who can open and can bat at 6 and can also keep?"
"The form of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma doesn't worry me. I think there is a lot of hunger in that dressing room, and I find that to be significant.
