The modest form of Kohli and Rohit in recent times has fueled speculation about their future.
바카라And I've said it before as well, those guys are so hungry, they want to play for the country. They have the passion to play for the country and deliver for the country,바카라 he added.
Gambhir said the team cannot relax even for a moment in the Champions Trophy because they have just three league matches, as compared to the 50-over World Cup.
바카라The Champions Trophy is a completely different challenge as compared to the 50-over World Cup because literally every game is a make-or-break, so you can't stop anywhere in this tournament.
바카라So hopefully we're going to start off really well, because ultimately, if you want to go on and win the competition, you have to win five games,바카라 he said.
Gambhir also played down the hype surrounding the India vs Pakistan match, which is scheduled to be played at Dubai on February 23.
바카라Look, we don't go to the Champions Trophy thinking that the 23rd is the most important game for us. I think five games, all the games are important. The mission to go to Dubai is to win the Champions Trophy, not only win one particular game.
바카라But yes, if that is one game in the middle of winning the Champions Trophy, we're going to try and take it as seriously as possible.
바카라And more importantly, I think when two countries, India and Pakistan, play against each other, obviously the emotions are really high, but ultimately the contest remains the same.바카라
The former India opener hailed skipper Suryakumar Yadav for infusing a fresh life into India바카라s T20I squad after the retirement of legends Kohli and Rohit.
바카라Me and Surya have been on the same page when we talk about selflessness and fearlessness. But yes, we want to be more smart going forward, because that is how we're going to grow as a T20 team, and hopefully in all the other formats as well.
바카라But I think the guys have been absolutely phenomenal. They've got the skills, they've got the temperament, they've got all the ability. And what they've done in the last six months, I think that's been incredible,바카라 he added.
Gambhir also detailed the working ethos for India in T20 Internationals.
바카라I think the foundation of this T20 team was based on two principles. That is selflessness and fearlessness. I think that is something which we want to create in that dressing room, and these young boys have responded really, really well,바카라 he added.
