India head coach Gautam Gambhir appreciates Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli: ‘Shubman Gill is very fortunate'

India head coach Gautam Gambhir has publicly praised veteran batsmen Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli ahead of a three-match ODI series against the West Indies in Kerala. Gambhir highlighted that young captain Shubman Gill is extremely fortunate to have the two experienced stalwarts available to assist him both on and off the pitch.

Meanwhile, chief selector Ajit Agarkar is set to conclude his tenure early next month following reports of disagreement with the cricket board over its decision to retain Rohit. The strong endorsement from the coaching staff suggests that both senior players maintain the board's full backing moving forward.
