As the Indian cricket team secured a heroic 2-2 draw in the inaugural Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, the Gautam Gambhir-Shubman Gill era in Test cricket is off to a promising start. Though the series ended in a draw, the buzz around the potential of this side has sent an infectious ray of hope into the Indian cricketing folklore. Though it is a young team, being led by a young coach like Gill, head coach Gambhir wants the side to be known as a ‘Gun team’. “Gautam Gambhir told Shubman Gill that this team shouldn’t be known as a young team but a gun team. This team has Gautam Gambhir written all over it. Gambhir isn’t one to give excuses. If he loses, he’ll take it on the chin and move on. But, this is a very Gautam Gambhir statement, a massive statement, that you want to be there, win, be a gun team, and be one of the best cricket teams in the world,” NDTV Consulting Editor Boria Majumdar said from Oval.
