Team India is currently having an ODI series against Sri Lanka with one match to go on January 15. The team has already won the series and is sitting comfortably with a lead of 2-0.
Meanwhile the former Indian opener Gautam Gambhir has said that the team should not get overjoyed by the individual performance as they have already lost an ODI series against Bangladesh at their home.
The statement from Gambhir came while having a normal discussion on Virat Kohli and his current form. The former opener feels the team should focus on the collective effort to do better as they have recently lost a series against Bangladesh.
Speaking to Sanjay Manjrekar during the second ODI played on January 12, Gautam Gambhir did not leave to criticize team India discussing the current form of Kohli.
He said, “We should not forget that India had lost its last ODI series against Bangladesh. We have forgotten about it. Yes, individual brilliance is important, individual hundreds are important, it looks very nice when it comes to your record that you got your 50 hundreds or 100 hundred, but you should never forget what has happened in Bangladesh. Because that is going to be a huge learning”.
“India’s full strength losing to Bangladesh in Bangladesh, I think we should grow from there rather than focussing only on this series. What has happened in the past should not be forgotten,” the former opener further said.
The third match of the three-match ODI series will be played on January 15 in Thiruvananthapuram.
