India head coach Gautam Gambhir expressed disappointment after India’s 1-2 ODI series loss to Australia, emphasizing that team success is paramount over individual brilliance, despite Rohit Sharma’s Player of the Series performance and Virat Kohli’s unbeaten 74 in the final match. The series marked Rohit and Kohli’s return to international cricket after eight months, with Rohit shining with scores of 8, 73, and 121* while India lost the first two matches. Gambhir, prioritizing results, highlighted the importance of not celebrating individual performances over team victories, as India transitions to new leadership with Shubman Gill replacing Rohit as ODI captain. India redeemed themselves in the T20I series, winning 2-1 with two games washed out, prompting Gambhir to stress the ultimate goal of winning the T20 World Cup next year.
