Former BCCI selector Sandeep Patil has shared details of a 2012 conversation with Sachin Tendulkar, where he informed the cricketer that the selection committee was considering his replacement due to poor form. Tendulkar reacted with surprise, asking 'Are you serious?' This discussion preceded Tendulkar's retirement from ODIs shortly after.
Gautam Gambhir emphasized that team success through trophies matters more than personal records in Indian cricket. His comments came after India defeated New Zealand by 96 runs in the T20 World Cup final. Gambhir highlighted the importance of collective achievements amid the celebrations.
