    'We Will Expect Him To Be The Way He Is': Gambhir On Pant's Test Vice-captaincy Snub

    By IANS News June 05, 2026 • 14:08 PM View: 148
    Lucknow Super Giants: India head coach Gautam Gambhir has broken his silence on Rishabh Pant's removal as Test vice-captain, saying that the team management does not want the wicketkeeper-batter to change his natural style of play, but the 28-year-old must improve his ability to read match situations in international cricket.

    Pant was replaced by KL Rahul as India's Test vice-captain ahead of the one-off Test against Afghanistan, a move that sparked widespread debate. The leadership change came after the left-hander endured a disappointing Test series against South Africa, where India were whitewashed 0-2, and a below-par IPL 2026 season with the Lucknow Super Giants.

    Addressing the issue during a pre-match press conference, Gambhir made it clear that the team management continues to back Pant's aggressive approach.
