Rajeev Shukla on Gautam Gambhir’s future: The Indian team has seen a disappointing performance in the last few Test series. The Indian team has faced a series of defeats in Test series.

Many fans are wondering whether Gautam Gambhir will be relieved as the head coach of Team India or not. BCCI Vice President Rajeev Shukla has now broken his silence on Gambhir’s future.

Although Team India under the leadership of Gautam Gambhir has not had much success in Test cricket, their record in ODIs and T20Is is impressive.
