India Test skipper Rohit Sharma is currently in Chennai to prepare for the 1st Test against Bangladesh starting from September 19. This is going to be the first Test match for India after the home series against England. Star players like Jasprit Bumrah and Virat Kohli are going to appear in the squad.
This Test series will be the first assignment for India’s head coach Gautam Gambhir along with his support staff. Gambhir joined with his staff after the tenure of Rahul Dravid ended along with India’s T20 World Cup win.
Rohit Sharma said that the support staff of Dravid were different team and the new support staff will bring different view to the team.
“Obviously, Rahul bhai, Vikram Rathour (former batting coach) and Paras Mhambrey (former bowling coach) were a different team and it is only acceptable that the new support staff will bring different perspective,” Rohit said in the press conference.
“It’s a new (support) staff for sure, but I have known Gautam Gambhir and Abhishek Nayar long enough. Every support staff has its operating style, and that’s what we were expecting. I have worked with different coaches over 17 years of my career, and it’s vital to understand that all of them have a unique perspective (about cricket), and it’s a must that you adjust with them,” he added.
