What Gambhir said about Kohli and Rohit
Speaking to reporters at his first press conference as head coach on Tuesday, Gambhir said he wants Rohit and Kohli to be available for most of the matches. “Rohit and Virat are not playing T20 cricket, so we have only two formats to focus on. I am sure they will be available for most of the matches,” Gambhir said. “They have shown what they can do on the big day… in the T20 World Cup, in the 50-over World Cup as well,” he added.
