Come out of comfort zone, fight every ball: Gambhir

|June 13, 2025
Gautam Gambhir has called on his team to move out of its "comfort zone" and make the upcoming Test series against England a "memorable" one, especially in the absence of retired stars Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and R Ashwin.
India will search for their maiden series victory in England since 2007, when the five-match rubber starts with the first Test at Leeds on June 20.
"There are two ways of looking at this tour. One is we are without our three most experienced players or we got this phenomenal opportunity to do something special for the country," Gambhir told BCCI.tv, referring to the recent retirements of Ashwin, Rohit and Kohli.
The former India opener said he can feel the "passion and the commitment" to achieve something special flowing through the current bunch, led by Shubman Gill.
