Gautam Gambhir Insists on Dressing-Room Security Amid Questions over India's Selection Policy

  • On Sunday, New Zealand chased down 192 to win the fifth T20I in Hamilton, clinching the final match and reducing India's series triumph to a 3-2 margin.
  • Both head coach Gautam Gambhir and captain Shreyas Iyer have faced questions over Vaibhav Sooryavanshi's limited opportunities, with Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma holding the opening spots.
  • Gambhir defended his approach, stating, "My job is to take the right decisions, not the popular decisions," while emphasizing dressing room security over external chatter.
  • India arrived in New Zealand less than 24 hours after finishing the West Indies series, a punishing schedule Gambhir said required significant squad adaptability to conditions.
  • Dismissing dead rubbers, Gambhir insisted every international game is an opportunity to learn and evolve, a philosophy he applies equally in the dressing room.
