Gautam Gambhir has taken the responsibility, and his first international assignment as India’s head coach will be the white-ball tour of Sri Lanka. India will prepare for the coming Champions Trophy 2025 and T20 World Cup 2026 under Gautam Gambhir as the two big events in the next two years. But then there is the World Test Championship final as well.
India have three important series lined up against Bangladesh, New Zealand, and Australia. They are currently at the top of the WTC table and will look to make it to the final and win this time around. And with Gambhir as a head coach, we might see a number of changes for the team. We might see a few players who are active in T20Is who might play Test cricket. In this article, we will talk about three T20I stars who might play Test cricket under Gautam Gambhir.
Three Indian T20I Stars who might play Test cricket with Gautam Gambhir has head coach
3. Rinku Singh
Rinku Singh has become an important part of India’s T20I squad. He has established himself as a potential finisher in the team who can change the game in the final overs. That’s where Rinku is important in T20Is, but his first-class record is also very impressive. He has scored 3173 runs in 47 matches at an average of 54.70. He is temperately very strong and can be a good option when teams look to take charge. Rinku has been with Gautam Gambhir for some years now, and we might see him making his Test debut under him.
2. Hardik Pandya
Hardik Pandya made his Test debut in 2017 and played 11 tests. He is one of those few Indian players with a century and five-wicket haul in Test cricket. His all-round ability makes him a valuable asset, especially when India tour SENA countries. India will play Test series in Australia and England in the coming 12 months, and Gambhir has said that if Hardik is fit for Test then he should play. So we might see this happen in the coming future.
1. Arshdeep Singh
Arshdeep Singh is India’s first-choice pacer in the shorter format. Since his debut in 2022, he has taken most wickets for India in this format. But some recent reports confirmed that India are planning him for the Test cricket. His simple action and ability to swing the ball can make him a good Test bowler. So under Gautam Gambhir, we might see Arshdeep playing Test cricket pretty soon.
