You should not be picking and choosing series – Gautam Gambhir

“I have always maintained this one thing. Retirement is an individual call, I think for me selectors should talk to him and ask him about his future plan. Ultimately for me, playing for India, you should not be picking and choosing series,” Gambhir told reporters.

“There is too much attention that is being given to a new player. He is just 21, he has played for last two and a half years. He has got two hundreds in Test cricket. We should not be comparing him with anyone, the team management should be backing him in the right way. He is still young and he has got a long future ahead,” Gambhir said.

Well, as Gautam Gambhir said, Mahendra Singh Dhoni should speak about his future in a clean way to the selection panel. On the other hand, Rishabh Pant would like to deliver at any cost for the Indian team in the upcoming series.
