Gautam Gambhir, former Indian cricketer and current coach, has revealed his all-time Indian cricket team for all formats. In his selection, he included former Indian captain MS Dhoni but made some surprising omissions. Gambhir chose only two fast bowlers and did not include Rohit Sharma, one of India’s greatest ODI openers.
Additionally, Gambhir left out Jasprit Bumrah, who is currently considered one of the best fast bowlers in all three formats of the game. Instead, he chose left-arm pacers Zaheer Khan and Irfan Pathan as his fast bowlers. Gambhir shared his team selection during an interview with ‘Sportskeeda.’
