Border-Gavaskar Trophy: India won a spectacular victory in the first Test match played in Australia, but after this victory a new news has come out, which may be shocking for Indian cricket fans. It is reported that India's coach, Gautam Gambhir, is now going to return to India soon. The reason for his sudden return has not been clarified at the moment, but it is believed that the reason may be personal. This decision has raised the question that after Gambhir returns to India, who will coach Team India during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy?

Gambhir will return before the Pink Ball Test

The upcoming second Test match between India and Australia will be played with the Pink Ball, which will be held in Adelaide from 6 to 10 December. However, it is a matter of relief that Gautam Gambhir will return to Australia and join the Indian team before the Pink Ball Test begins.

According to sources close to the BCCI, Gautam Gambhir had already informed the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) about his return. Sources also said that he has cited personal reasons for his return and that he will join the team before the second Test.

Team India will leave for Canberra on November 27

After India's victory in the Perth Test, the Indian team will leave for Canberra on November 27, where they will have a two-day practice session to play the Pink Ball practice match. The match will start on Saturday. During this time, in the absence of Gautam Gambhir, the Indian team's assistant coach, Abhishek Nair, bowling coach Morne Morkel and fielding coach T. Dilip will monitor the training session.

Rohit Sharma also did not go to Australia due to personal reasons

Gautam Gambhir's return from Australia also brings to mind another personal aspect at this time, as Indian captain Rohit Sharma also did not go with the team for the first Test due to personal reasons. This personal reason of Rohit was related to the birth of his second child. However, now Rohit Sharma has reached Australia and has also started practicing with the pink ball.

Gambhir's return will help the Indian team

If Gautam Gambhir returns in time before the Pink Ball Test, it will be a positive step for the Indian team. Gambhir's experience and coaching approach will strengthen the Indian team, especially when India will face the challenge of continuing their Test campaign in Australia.

Finally, it will be interesting to see Gautam Gambhir's return to India and the upcoming challenges for Team India, as who will take over the responsibility of guiding the team after his return is still a big question.
