The International Cricket Council (ICC) on Friday announced the groups for the Men's T20 World Cup 2021.

Gill made his Test debut in Australia, and scored 259 runs in three matches series, with two fifties, including the 91 in the record chase at Gabba. According to Gambhir, while Gill has made an impressive start to his Test career, things can get tough at the big stage, and hence he must remain grounded. https://cricwaves.appspot.com/cricket/news/articles/eIjW46d688_drh-sevawcirc/big-opportunity-for-india-to-beat-australia-in-australia-again-gambhir.html Former India opener Gautam Gambhir feels that the current Australian batting line-up is the weakest he has ever seen. Gambhir wants the Indians to make best use of the same and ensure that they clinch the Test series. According to the cricketer-turned-politician, the current Aussie batting line-up is nowhere near that of England, New Zealand, and India. https://cricwaves.appspot.com/cricket/news/articles/HErfv8c0uq_drh-sevawcirc/no-one-apart-from-india-rotates-wicketkeeper-based-on-conditions-gautam-gambhir-slams-team-indias-selection-policy.html Having gone down in the first Test at Adelaide, India have a massive task on hand when they face Australia in the Boxing Day Test at MCG, starting December 26. A loss would mean that for the first time in 88 years India will finish a year without a Test win. Apart from Adelaide, they lost both their matches in New Zealand. https://cricwaves.appspot.com/cricket/news/articles/SwQAREVzxG_drh-sevawcirc/gambhir-laxman-unhappy-with-bccis-handling-of-rohit-sharma-situation.html Former India cricketer Gautam Gambhir feels that the entire controversy surrounding the Rohit Sharma fiasco could have been handled in a much better manner. Rohit was initially not selected in any of three squads for the tour of Australia. However, following the hullabaloo over his participation in the IPL 2020 play-offs, including the final, he was added to the Test squad. https://cricwaves.appspot.com/cricket/news/articles/bEb8zbye9h_drh-sevawcirc/you-cannot-compare-anyone-in-india-with-ben-stokes-gautam-gambhir.html Former India cricketer Gautam Gambhir has termed Ben Stokes as a player in a completely different league. According to Gambhir, no player comes close to Stokes on current form. Stokes hit a match-winning 176 in the second Test against West Indies to help the hosts level the series. Gambhir scored 313 runs and claimed nine wickets in the first two Tests.
