Shubman Gill, Axar Patel, Jasprit Bumrah and Kuldeep Yadav will also be on the same ship as they, too, like Gautam Gambhir, will be playing in the Test series against the West Indies immediately after the Asia Cup assignment.
Indian head coach Gautam Gambhir has shown a nonsense attitude as he headed to Ahmedabad for the side’s West Indies series, just hours after landing. Gambhir, instrumental in India’s Asia Cup 2025 success will be in the dugout after he was spotted arriving at the Saradar Vallahbhai Patel International Airport on Tuesday (Sep 30). India’s Test series against the West Indies starts on Thursday (Oct 2) with eyes on the first home assignment of the World Test Championship (WTC) 2025-27 cycle.
Gambhir lands in Ahmedabad
On Sunday, India beat Pakistan for the third time in the Asia Cup 2025, thereby winning the continental showpiece. The final was a close affair, but India got the better of the opposition, meaning they lifted the Asia Cup title without conceding a defeat. Now, just hours later, Gambhir has geared up for the Test assignment, which starts at the iconic Narendra Modi Stadium.

Gambhir is renowned for his serious work approach and demands a lot out of the Indian team. India will be quickly looking to adapt to the Test format, having played in the T20I format as the squad goes through a phase of overhaul. Shubman Gill, Axar Patel, Jasprit Bumrah and Kuldeep Yadav will also be on the same ship as they, too, like Gambhir, will be playing in the Test series against the West Indies immediately after the Asia Cup assignment.
