Gautam Gambhir took over the post of head coach of the Indian cricket team in July 2024. Gambhir has been advocating for young players since the beginning. Only after IPL 2026, many young players including Vaibhav Suryavanshi, Prince Yadav, Gurnoor and Suryansh Shedge have made their international debut. But after Gambhir’s arrival, senior players are gradually disappearing from Team India. Here, know about those 3 players whose career is almost over after Gambhir became the coach.
Mohammed Shami
Mohammed Shami has not played for Team India since the 2025 Champions Trophy. After that the selectors have continuously ignored Shami. After being dropped from the team, Shami took 37 wickets in 7 matches of Ranji Trophy 2025-26 season, took 15 wickets in 7 matches of Vijay Hazare Trophy and also took 16 wickets in Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. When Chief Selector Ajit Agarkar was asked a question some time ago, he said that Shami is out of the team due to fitness, whereas Shami had taken 68 wickets in the last domestic season.
Ravindra Jadeja
Perhaps no one knew when Ravindra Jadeja disappeared from the Indian team. He retired from the T20 format after the 2024 T20 World Cup. After the ODI series against New Zealand in January this year, Jadeja has neither been seen in the Test nor ODI team. He was not given a place in the Test against Afghanistan and then also in the Afghanistan and England ODI series.
