Rishabh Pant reveals how Gautam Gambhir 's mindset has changed Team India's dressing room vibe

While speaking to JioCinema ahead of the Duleep Trophy domestic tournament, Team India wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant  spoke on the drastic shift in the team's dressing room vibe since Gautam Gambhir took charge. He expressed that while Dravid was balanced as a person and as a coach. But Gambhir has an aggressive mindset and all he focuses on is that the team has to win.

“I feel Rahul bhai was very balanced as a human being and as a coach. It could be both good and bad. There are positives and negatives, and it depends on where individuals want to focus. Gauti bhai (Gambhir) is more aggressive, he's very one-sided about the fact that you have to win. But you need to find the right balance and improve,” Rishabh Pant said.

Rishabh Pant has recently made his return to red-ball cricket at the Duleep Trophy domestic tournament. The wicketkeeper-batter represents Team India B, but his India compatriot Shubman Gill thwarted his much-awaited red-ball comeback.

Team India's attention will be on the upcoming Bangladesh Test series, who are currently riding strong after they defeated Pakistan 2-0 in away conditions. Pant looks to be assured of a red-ball return, but Dhruv Jurel, the upstart stumper-batter, could give him some competition after his heroics against England had made waves. He also shined in the Duleep trophy, and the competition for the wicketkeeper spot is about to get intense.
