Indian team's head coach Gautam Gambhir finally broke his silence on Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli's Test retirement and said that this is their personal decision, which should be respected.
Before the five-Test series on the England tour, Gautam Gambhir said that Rohit-Virat's Test retirement will make a big difference in the Indian team, but he also said that the youth will have a great opportunity to prove themselves.

Gautam Gambhir said in a conversation with CNN-News18, 'I think when you start playing and when you want to end it, it is a personal decision. Be it a coach or a selector or anyone in the country. No one has the right to tell the player when to retire. This voice comes from the player's heart.'

Rohit-Kohli's goodbye to Test

Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli retired from the Test format earlier this month. Gambhir admitted that the team will miss the experience of both the veterans, but he stressed that the youth have a great opportunity to shine.

The Indian head coach said, 'Yes, there will be difficulties, but then there are people who will definitely raise their hands. Someone's departure gives another person a chance to do better for the country.'

Champions Trophy is the biggest example

Gambhir gave the example of India winning the Champions Trophy, in which Jasprit Bumrah's services were not available. Gambhir said that this proves that the team can be successful even without senior players.
