New Delhi. Team India is leaving for Australia tour on Monday after losing the Test series 0-3 against New Zealand at home. The Indian team will play a series of 5 Test matches here under the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2025-25. Meanwhile, Team India is currently second in the race for the ICC World Test Championship final (ICC WTC 2025), but the defeat against New Zealand has dealt a blow to its campaign to reach the final. Now India will have to beat Australia 4-0 in its home. But the team's head coach Gautam Gambhir has made it clear that he and his team are not thinking about this final. Gambhir was addressing the media before the team left for Australia.
On this occasion, Gambhir was asked that India would have to beat Australia at least 4-0 to reach the World Test Championship Final (ICC WTC Final). On this, coach Gambhir said bluntly that at the moment he and his team are not thinking about this title match of the Test Championship. Every series is important for his team and the team's focus is currently on the Australia tour and the series.
Gambhir made it clear here that he is not worried about whether the team will play the final of the World Test Championship for the third consecutive time or not. Let us tell you that India has already defeated Australia in two consecutive Test series at its home. It is the only Asian team to do so. Apart from India, no other Asian team has been able to defeat Australia in a Test series at its home.
This time India's target is to win the series here and score a hat-trick. But before this tour, the defeat against New Zealand at home has definitely shaken its confidence. However, coach Gambhir has made it clear that he is not too worried about this defeat because he is completely honest about this game and his job, and what is being said outside the team's circle in the media and social media does not matter to him.
He said that all the players in the team have the same hunger for victory that they should have and many players in his team have achieved a lot for Indian cricket and they will achieve a lot in the future too.
