The Indian team is going to leave for the England tour on Friday. Before going on this difficult tour, the team's head coach and new Test captain Shubman Gill spoke to the media. In the 5-match Test series, the team will play without Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli after a long time. Both had announced their retirement from Tests before the tour. The selectors have handed over the command of the Test to young Shubman Gill. The Indian team will start the tour against England on June 20.

Team India's head coach Gautam Gambhir has said that he is always under pressure. Whatever the results of the team. The pressure is equal in victory and defeat. He said that as a coach he always wants good results and the fact that things can go in the opposite direction always keeps him alert. Gambhir's career as India's head coach had a difficult start. He lost the ODI series against Sri Lanka, was wiped out in the home Test series against New Zealand, and then suffered a 1-3 defeat in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

Last year, the Indian team won the Champions Trophy and after this, all eyes will be on Gambhir's coaching and India's performance on the next tour of England. Responding to a question in the press conference, he said, "I am always under pressure, whether we get a result or not. If you had asked me this question after the New Zealand series, I would have said 'Yes, I am under pressure'. Even after the Australia tour, I would have said 'Yes, I am under pressure'. Even after the Champions Trophy, I am under pressure because as a coach, you always want results."

India's head coach will be under pressure especially after the retirement of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli last month. Now he will have to guide the team led by Shubman Gill. Veteran fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah will also not be able to play in the entire series. Gambhir indicated that the order of Bumrah's appearance will largely depend on how India's position is in the series. “We want to discuss with them, and it will also depend on the series. A lot will also depend on the result of the series, which direction it is going in. This is something I am well aware of,”
