Gambhir plays down NZ debacle, looks forward to Oz tour
The Statesman|November 12, 2024
Under fire after a 3-0 series whitewash at home against New Zealand, the Indian cricket team will look to turn things around and retain the Border-Gavaskar trophy for a third consecutive time during their upcoming tour of Australia for a challenging five-Test tour, starting with the first Test at Perth from November 22.

Gambhir plays down NZ debacle, looks forward to Oz tour

The series also holds significance as a World Test Championships final berth is at stake after Rohit Sharma's men slipped to second spot following the drubbing against the Black Caps. For a team that has been near-invincible at home, this loss was significant—it marked their first Test series defeat on home soil since 2012 and the first 3-0 whitewash at home this century, as the Indians struggled to cope with New Zealand's spin attack.

Despite the heavy backlash following the series loss, head coach Gautam Gambhir showed no signs of concern, shrugging off all the uproar at the pre-departure presser on Monday.
