Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are in excellent form. Virat is scoring 302 runs in the series against South Africa, while Rohit is also scoring runs continuously. Meanwhile, former cricketer Robin Uthappa has targeted Team India’s head coach Gautam Gambhir. Uthappa says that Rohit and Virat have done well against South Africa, yet Gautam Gambhir has held back from praising them.

Robin Uthappa on his YouTube channel said, “I found it surprising that in the press conference after the series ended, I did not see Gautam Gambhir praising Virat and Rohit. Here are two batsmen who are batting with all their heart and showing how well they can play. They have removed every doubt about what they can do and have silenced their critics by showing what they can do for India if they are in great form.”

It is important to stay in the present

India had defeated South Africa 2-1 in the ODI series. After Team India won the series, Gautam Gambhir was asked about the plans for 2027 ODI World Cup. Gambhir said, “First you have to understand that the ODI World Cup is still 2 years away. It is important that you think while living in the present.”

In the ODI series against South Africa, Virat Kohli scored two consecutive centuries and played an unbeaten inning of 65 runs in the final match, which contributed significantly to Team India’s victory. He scored 302 runs in 3 matches and for this performance he was also given the Player of the Series award. On the other hand, Rohit Sharma had scored 146 runs and remains the world’s number-1 batsman in the ODI rankings.

Indian cricket team head coach Gautam Gambhir has given a big statement after winning the ODI series against South Africa. Young bowling all-rounder Harshit Rana is important in Gambhir’s plan. Gambhir also reacted regarding Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. However, he also said that the experience of Virat and Rohit is very important for the team, but along with this, the performance of the young players has also been incredible.

In the three-match ODI series against South Africa, Virat Kohli scored two centuries and an unbeaten half-century. He also became ‘Player of the Series’. Rohit Sharma scored two important half-centuries in this series. Coach Gambhir expressed hope that both the veteran players will continue their similar performance.

Gambhir gave a big statement on Virat and Rohit

Speaking to reporters after winning the third ODI against South Africa, coach Gautam Gambhir said, “They (Rohit and Virat) are excellent players. I have said many times that they are world-class players. They are the best players in this format and their experience in the dressing room really means a lot. They are doing what they have been doing. They have been performing like this for such a long time for Indian cricket. Hopefully, they will continue to perform like this in future also.”

Harshit Rana is an important part of coach Gambhir’s plan

Regarding Harshit Rana, Gautam Gambhir said, “We are trying to groom a player like Harshit in such a way that he can really contribute while batting at number eight. We have to strike a balance like this, because for the 2027 ODI World Cup after two years, we will also need three good fast bowlers. If he establishes himself as a bowling all-rounder, it will be good for us.”

Gambhir also seemed impressed by the performance of fast bowlers Arshdeep Singh and Prasidh Krishna. He said, the performance of Arshdeep, Prasidh and Harshit in this series has been incredible. These three do not have much experience especially in the 50 over format. He has hardly played less than 15 ODIs, but he has performed brilliantly.
