Virat kohli and Rohit Sharma The head coach of the Indian cricket team Gautam Gambhir broke his silence about the future of the seniors Rohit Sharma and Virt Kohli, which explained that the performance – not a reputation – will determine its place in the national team.
In a strong message that passes through speculations around team crossings and potential farewell, Gambhir said: “Until they perform, they should be part of the team. The show ensures selection. No coach, selector or even BCCI can tell someone to stop when they deliver.”
Gambhir also rejected any ideas about the planned farewells for Indian giants and strengthened that emotional broadcasting has no space in a high -performance environment. “No athlete plays farewell. The greatest farewell and trophy is the love of the earth. That’s what really matters,” he said.
The former Opener of India, who spoke at the ABP India summit at 2047, reiterated that his role is not to choose a favorite, but to keep meritocracy. “It is not the task of choosing a team; this is for selectors. My responsibility is to prepare anyone who is chosen for the performance for India,” he said.

Gambhir, known for his combat style in and off the field, stood firmly on his temperament. “I want to be the winner. No one wants to lose. I don’t want to change anything about it,” he said.
When the Indian cricket landscape enters the new phase, Gambhir’s message is unmistakable: if it is for performance, there will be no room for sentiment or inheritance.
