Gautam Gambhir: Gautam Gambhir, the head coach of the Indian cricket team, is considered to be very strict. Ever since Gambhir (Gautam Gambhir) has taken over as the head coach of Team India, many big changes are being seen. Along with making Suryakumar Yadav the captain and Shubman Gill the vice-captain of Team India in T20I, now a warning has been issued for one player.
KL Rahul has received a warning from the team management due to his slow form in the Indian Test team. Head coach Gautam Gambhir Rahul, who returned to Test cricket after a long gap in Chennai against Bangladesh, scored 16 runs in the first innings and remained unbeaten on 22* in the second innings, after which Rohit Sharma declared the innings. Earlier, while playing for India A in the Duleep Trophy, Rahul had scored 94 runs on 232 balls in both the innings. According to One Cricket, he has been warned about his form.
KL Rahul reportedly receives a warning from Indian team management over poor form in red-ball cricket. After a 6-month Test hiatus, he scored 16 (1st innings) and 22* (2nd innings) in India's match vs Bangladesh before Rohit Sharma's declaration. #KLrahul #TeamIndia #INDvsBAN pic.twitter.com/UeYrlGFOQt

According to a report in Telegraph India, KL Rahul's place in the Test team could be in danger, especially due to the explosive form of emerging middle-order batsmen like Sarfaraz Khan and Dhruv Jurel. The team management has given a strict warning to Rahul after his poor performance against Bangladesh in the Chennai Test. Rahul started his Test career in 2014 and has so far scored 2,901 runs in 51 matches, but his average is 34.12, which is not as per the team's expectations.
India will now play the second and decisive Test against Bangladesh in Kanpur, which will be followed by a three-Test series against New Zealand. After this, India will leave for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia. With important points of the World Test Championship (WTC) at stake, the team management may make major changes in the playing eleven in the next few weeks.
