Gautam Gambhir said That This Short cut of Coming to Team India is Not Good

Former India's early batsman Gautam Gambhir is influenced by the quality of cricket in the Indian Premier League (IPL), but he does not want franchise -based T20 league to make the Indian team an entry into the Indian team.

Former Indian team opener Gautam Gambhir attended Ravichandran Ashwin's YouTube program Kutti Storys with Ash and opened many secrets of his heart. Gambhir did not praise the IPL but also said that one should not depend on the T20 league to get a place in the Indian team. Gambhir also told that fans do not want to see him smiling.

Gautam Gambhir said that IPL should not become a shortcut

On this platform, this former Indian batsman said, "It is a matter of concern for me how many young players want to play Test cricket for Team India. I hope that IPL will not prove to be a shortcut to play for India. ”However, Gambhir is not against the IPL and he considers it beneficial for Indian cricket.

He said, 'In today's era, when I see international teams, when it comes to playing against India, I do not see teams that give India competing more than two-three teams of the world. Many teams are not able to face India's strength. So I think the IPL has become more competitive in today's era. '

And further he said, 'The level of our players is high. The manner in which they want to play IPL and make preparations like T20 format. I think he wants to play most of T20 cricket. '

Gambhir told the thinking of fans

On this occasion, Gambhir said on his serious face during the match, "People often say that I do not smile or do not love." But people do not come here to see me. They come to see my team winning. We are in a similar profession, so I cannot do anything in it. I am not an entertainment nor in Bollywood actor or corporate. I am a cricketer.

Gautam Gambhir said in comparison to IPL international T20 cricket

KKR has won the IPL title in 2012 and 2014 under the captaincy of Gambhir, who won the finals of the 2011 ODI World Cup for India with his brilliant batting. Gautam Gambhir said, 'Many teams cannot match India's strength. Therefore, I think that today the IPL has become more competitive than international T20 cricket. The level of our domestic players has increased. The way they want to play IPL, the way they prepare for T20 cricket, I feel that their focus is on playing T20 cricket. ”KKR has made it to the IPL playoffs this season as Gambhir's mentor.
