Gautam Gambhir: Team India is going to appear in a three-match T20 series against Bangladesh from October 6. Let us tell you that it will be organized in India only. BCCI has already announced the schedule. On September 28, the board also announced India's 15-member squad for the upcoming series.

Team head coach Gautam Gambhir has made some important changes in the squad. Some players have returned, while some big guns have been thrown out of the team. Gauti has once again expressed no confidence in his “favorite” player in the T20 series against Bangladesh. The name of this experienced player is missing from the 15-member squad. Let us know in detail which player we are talking about.

Gautam Gambhir removed his favorite player

Ever since Gautam Gambhir became the head coach of Team India, changes are being made continuously in the team. After the ODI and T20 series against Sri Lanka, now all those changes are visible in the team selected for the T20 series against Bangladesh. Under this, Gauti has not given place to his favorite KL Rahul in the team.

The word favorite has been used because both of them have worked for Lucknow Super Giants in IPL. Gambhir used to be the mentor of this team and KL used to be the captain. Apart from this, Gauti has also praised Rahul's batting many times. In such a situation, this was quite a shocking decision. However, the recent performance of the 32-year-old player is also largely responsible for this.

Recent performance has not been anything special

KL Rahul has been the target of critics for some time. This player's slow innings in the final of the ICC World Cup 2023 last year is said to be most responsible for India's defeat. After this, KL's performance has only declined.

If we talk about his recent performance, he could only score zero and 31 during the ODI series against Sri Lanka. In the first test against Bangladesh, his bat scored only 16 and 22. He played his last T20 match on November 10, 2022.
