‘Might Want To Share Achievement Of Removing Rohit’: Fans Roast Gautam Gambhir Over Team Dinner Ahead of IND vs WI 2nd Test In Delhi
As India prepares for the second Test against West Indies in New Delhi, head coach Gautam Gambhir’s gesture of hosting the entire team at his residence has sparked a wave of trolling online. The trolling stems from Shubman Gill’s recent appointment as India’s new ODI captain, replacing Rohit Sharma.
Gambhir, who hails from the capital, invited the whole squad and coaching staff to his home after their afternoon training session at Arun Jaitley Stadium. The idea was to give the team a chance to relax before the high-stakes Test beginning on October 10. While the dinner scheduled for October 8 is intended as a warm, bonding session for players and support staff, many fans on social media have cheekily dubbed it as an achievement of removing Rohit Sharma from captaincy.
### Fans Troll Gautam Gambhir
The reaction on social media has been mixed, with some fans appreciating Gambhir’s efforts to strengthen team spirit, while others have taken the opportunity to troll him in light of the recent captaincy change. Despite the online banter, the focus remains firmly on the upcoming Test match.
### What’s Next for Team India?
India enters the Delhi Test buoyed by a resounding win in the opener, where KL Rahul, Dhruv Jurel, and Ravindra Jadeja smashed centuries, and Mohammed Siraj starred with seven wickets. The team is likely to maintain their winning combination for the Delhi Test, though there could be a couple of changes as the management looks to try out new players.
Jasprit Bumrah is expected to retain his place, while Devdutt Padikkal may replace Sai Sudharsan in the playing XI. Similarly, Axar Patel could be handed an opportunity, potentially replacing Washington Sundar.
### Looking Ahead: A Packed Schedule
This series against West Indies leads into a packed international calendar for India. Following the Test series, India will play three ODIs and five T20Is against West Indies. They will then prepare for a challenging tour of Australia.
Beyond that, India faces a demanding schedule with series against Afghanistan, England, South Africa, and Sri Lanka—all in a single stretch. Additionally, they will play New Zealand twice in upcoming ODI assignments. Out of the nine series on their calendar, six will be hosted at home, while the remaining matches will be played overseas.
As the players settle into these fixtures, maintaining team morale and focus will be crucial—something Gambhir’s gesture at his home aimed to foster ahead of the important Test match.
