Gautam Gambhir’s Playful Moment Before BGT 2024-25 3rd Test

Former Indian cricketer and head coach, Gautam Gambhir, showcased his light-hearted side during a recent Star Sports live pre-match show. This amusing incident occurred as the excitement for the third Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) 2024-25 series between India and Australia was building up. The series currently stands at a critical juncture with both teams tied 1-1.

India and Australia have each claimed a victory in the first two tests held in Perth and Adelaide. The pink-ball Test saw India face a significant setback with a hefty 10-wicket defeat. As the teams prepare for the upcoming match in Brisbane, India is gearing up for a strong performance to bounce back in the series. The third Test is scheduled to begin on Saturday, December 14, 2024.

During the live broadcast on Star Sports, Gautam Gambhir’s attempt to join the show through a locked door became a moment of amusement for viewers. His playful demeanor was a refreshing break amidst the serious pre-match analyses and discussions.

In the same episode, cricket expert and former cricketer Harbhajan Singh shared insights on India’s strategic plans for the Brisbane Test on the Star Sports show “Follow the Blues.” He assessed the team’s possible combinations and expressed confidence in the existing batting order. Singh advocated for KL Rahul to retain his position as an opener, citing Rohit Sharma’s current dip in form as a reason for the former’s continuity at the top.

Harbhajan Singh also suggested that Washington Sundar could be included in playing XI for the upcoming test match due to his credible performance in the first BGT match. Sundar’s capability with the bat and two-wicket haul were reasons Singh mentioned in support of this decision.

As both teams head to Brisbane, the anticipation of spectators is heightening. The performance of the Indian team in this crucial Test will be pivotal in determining the momentum for the remainder of the series.
