NEW DELHI, Aug 11:
The Indian selection committee of late has been playing the game of ‘musical chair’ by rotating the post of vice-captaincy between Gautam Gambhir and Virat Kohli but the former seemed unperturbed after being handed back the position for the World T20 in Sri Lanka.
“Your responsibilities and commitment towards the team don’t change with change in designation. I am not in the team for my vice-captaincy. I am in the team to score runs and win matches for my country,” Gambhir retorted when asked for his reaction after being reinstated as Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s deputy.
Gambhir welcomed the inclusion of Yuvraj Singh and Harbhajan Singh in the squad.
“Yuvraj has been a match-winner and it is great to see him back in the team. As to whether the mood of the dressing room will be upbeat with Yuvraj coming back, I believe it’s not dependant on any particular individual. (PTI)
