“The head coach is here. That should be enough,” Gautam Gambhir said to a room full of reporters wondering why India’s captain Rohit Sharma was not at the pre-match press conference in Sydney. Rohit had skipped it before the third Test in Brisbane too – Shubman Gill spoke to the press – but the explanation
There’s a fine line between maximum preparation and cluelessness, and Pakistan are trying to make sure they tread the right side of it.

India coach Gautam Gambhir was strong in saying he has “everything under control” in the dressing room but admitted he had “honest” conversations with the team after losing the MCG Test to go 2-1 down in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. In the days between that Melbourne defeat and the New Year’s Test in Sydney, there was
