#3 Confidence of the coaching staff in his ability
The current Indian coaching staff headed by Anil Kumble have thrown their weight behind Gautam Gambhir’s inclusion in the Test squad following KL Rahul’s injury in the 1st Test of the series against New Zealand. Addressing the media prior to the 2nd Test, Kumble had expressed his pleasure about the left-hander’s return to the team.
Batting coach Sanjay Bangar, too, had showered praise on Gambhir when he confirmed that the latter would open the innings in the 3rd Test. Bangar had stated that the Delhi batsman is a quality player and will have a crucial role to play during the remainder of India’s long home season.
The confidence being shown by the national team’s coaches in Gautam Gambhir’s batting ability augurs well for him and may ensure a regular spot for him in the Indian Test side in the days to come.
