Meanwhile, Kapil Dev was last seen in Varanasi. The former Indian all-rounder attended an event with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who inaugurated an international cricket stadium in Varanasi. Kapil Dev attended the event with former Indian players like Ravi Shastri, Sunil Gavaskar, and Sachin Tendulkar.
Gautam Gambhir is currently busy with the IND vs AUS ODI series. Gambhir is one of the commentators in the series. Recently, he called picking Suryakumar Yadav in the ICC World Cup 2023 squad as a huge gamble for India.

“If Suryakumar Yadav is in your first playing XI then I would want him to bat at 6-7, but the big question will then be who will bat at No. 5. Then Jadeja can bat at No. 5, Hardik at 6 and Suryakumar as finisher where he can bat in the final 15-20 overs.
But, it will be a huge gamble deciding whether you want Jadeja at No. 5 and Suryakumar, in the form that he is in ODI cricket, at No. 7. This would put a lot of responsibility on the top four,” Gambhir had said.
