Out of favour Team India opener, Gautam Gambhir feels that India still has a chance of winning or levelling the five-match Test series against England. He said as India is facing a do or die situation as they're set to take the field for the third Test at Trent Bridge on Saturday (August 18). It will be a big occasion for India as they try to save the series.
Despite India's mediocre performance in the series so far, Gambhir has backed them to make a comeback. During an interview with the Times of India, he also revealed that he would give wicketkeeper-batsman Dinesh Karthik another one of two matches rather than bringing in Rishabh Pant straightaway.
He stated that Karthik might be struggling to score runs, but if someone is on the brink of his career, he should be given another chance.
The southpaw said that Pant has a long future in front of him and can wait. However, it will be on the team management and the captain and the coach to take the final call.
Gambhir felt that making too many changes would give a signal to the opposition that they are completely shattered. He also felt that the return of Jasprit Bumrah will undoubtedly bolster the team.
In case he is unfit Umesh Yadav should be the bowler they should go for.
