Right time to question Gambhir and even the selection panel.
After the CT 2025 win, we have lost ODI series to Australia away, New Zealand home and now England away.

A tour that may redefine Indian cricket. 🇮🇳

The dominance is fading. 🤌

With the 2027 World Cup just 15 months away, the rebuild can't wait. 🇮🇳💙#INDvsENG
