A five-Test series is being played between india and England. Both teams have won one match each and the third Test match is being played at Lord's in London. In this context, virat kohli and rohit sharma have retired from international Test cricket before this match. At this time, suresh raina had given an interview. In it, he had said that the reason for virat kohli and Rohit Sharma's retirement from Test cricket was the ban imposed by the indian team management on their families not to come to foreign series. Many are criticizing that if rohit sharma and virat kohli were on the batting-friendly pitch, they could have achieved more records. In this situation, Pujara conducted an interview with Gambhir yesterday before the Lord's match. In it, Pujara raised a question about this issue.
Responding to this, Gambhir said, "Family is very important. But you have to understand one thing. Why have you come here? What a big responsibility you have. This is not a time for vacation." "You have come here for the country. When crores of people in the country want to play for the indian cricket team, only a few of them are selected for the dressing room. This is a big opportunity to add pride to your country." "I have not banned the family from coming to the foreign series. Families are definitely something that a player needs. But your main focus is to make the country proud. This is the biggest task for you. You have to accept that goal and spend your time on it. Whatever others want may be right. But for me, our goal is more important than everything else," Gambhir said.
