Gambhir and Yuvraj pass fitness test at National Cricket Academy
Veteran Opener Gautam Gambhir And Senior Middle-order Batsman Yuvraj Singh Appeared For A Fitness Test At The National Cricket Academy At Bangalore.
Veteran opener Gautam Gambhir and senior middle-order batsman Yuvraj Singh appeared for a fitness test at the National cricket Academy at Bangalore.
‘Gauti’ and ‘Yuvi’s’ presence in the NCA clearly showcases that the two former Indian stalwarts are very much part of the BCCI plans for the long international season coming ahead.
It had been learnt from reliable sources that both Gambhir and Yuvraj have passed the fitness test. Along with Gambhir and Yuvraj, pacer Barinder Sran and Jaspreet Bumrah have also appeared for fitness tests.
Yuvraj, Bumrah and Sran are serious contenders for a place in the upcoming ODI series against New Zealand.There were some speculations that Gambhir may be called as a replacement for KL Rahul, who sustained a hamstring injury during the just-concluded first Test against New Zealand in Kanpur.
However till late evening BCCI has not made any announcement in this regard.In case Rahul is unavailable due to fitness reasons, another specialist opener, Shikhar Dhawan is already present in the squad.
However, Gambhir's impressive show in the recent Duleep Trophy, where he scored four back-to-back half-centuries including two 90 plus scores, has again somewhat brought him back in focus.
