Gautam Gambhir, head coach of the Indian team, has admitted that Rohit-Virat’s absence will be a big challenge for the team. But this will be a great chance for the youth to prove themselves. After both, India will also need a new Test captain. It will not be easy to replace these two.
On Rohit-Kohli’s retirement, Gambhir told CNN News18, ‘I believe when you start playing and want to finish, this is a personal decision. No one else has rights. Be it the coach, the selector or anyone else in the country, does anyone have the right to tell anyone when to retire and when not. This is its own decision. ‘

We will go without our two most experienced players. Many times I think it is also a chance for other players to prove their utility.
Gambhir compared this to India’s victory in the Champions Trophy, which was found in the absence of Jaspreet Bumrah. He said-
It will be difficult, but such players will be there. Those who will be ready to take responsibility. I was also asked this question before the Champions Trophy. When Jaspreet was not Bumrah, I had said the same thing. Nobody gets a chance to do something special. Hopefully there will be players who are waiting for this opportunity.
