India head coach Gautam Gambhir discusses the selection of uncapped players Harshit Rana and Nitish Kumar Reddy for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. With key matches lined up, including a day-night Test in Adelaide, India aims to secure a 4-0 victory against Australia to qualify for the WTC final.

India's head coach, Gautam Gambhir, has expressed confidence in the strategic selection of players like Harshit Rana for the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia. Emphasizing the importance of freshness for bowlers, Gambhir stated, "He's had enough bowling. It's crucial for a fast bowler to stay fresh for this demanding five-Test series."

Gambhir also highlighted the potential of Nitish Kumar Reddy, saying, "Nitish Reddy is incredibly talented and, if given the opportunity, will greatly contribute to the team. We have carefully chosen the best players to represent the country in this crucial tournament."

Facing a 3-0 defeat against New Zealand, India must now win 4-0 against Australia to secure a place in the WTC final in London. The series begins in Perth, followed by a day-night Test in Adelaide, with subsequent matches in Brisbane, Melbourne, and concluding in Sydney, providing an exciting end to the series.
