Rohit Sharma and Gautam Gambhir Speak While Morne Morkel Prepares For His Bowling Coach Debut

India's home season kicked off in Chennai with a preparatory camp for the upcoming two-match Test series against Bangladesh. The series marks the return of Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant to Test cricket after extended absences. Under the guidance of new head coach Gautam Gambhir, the Indian team is aiming to secure vital World Test Championship (WTC) points to strengthen their position at the top of the table.

One of the key highlights of the camp was the presence of Morne Morkel, the former South African speedster who has joined the GG’s coaching team as the bowling coach. Morkel, known for his impressive coaching record, will be tasked with shaping the Indian pace attack, including Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Akash Deep, and Yash Dayal. His expertise will be invaluable as India prepares for a challenging Test season.

The Bangladesh series will also be a significant milestone for Gambhir, who is taking charge of the Indian Test team for the first time. He will be assisted by Abhishek Nayar and Ryan ten Doeschate, both of whom were part of the coaching staff during the recent Sri Lanka tour. It is expected that the absence of a dedicated batting coach in the current setup means that Gambhir, Nayar, and ten Doeschate will share responsibilities.

With the WTC points on the line, India is determined to perform well in the Bangladesh series. The two-match series will serve as a crucial stepping stone towards their ultimate goal of securing a place in the WTC final. The Indian team's performance in this series will be closely watched by fans and experts alike as they look to build momentum for the upcoming challenges ahead.
