Gambhir on Pandya's Return and Nitish Reddy's Role After India’s T20I Sweep
India completed a 3-0 T20I series sweep over Afghanistan, highlighted by Abhishek Sharma's record 108 off 34 balls. Head coach Gautam Gambhir praised Nitish Kumar Reddy's development as a seam-bowling all-rounder and noted his withdrawal from T20s will allow more game time in the upcoming ODI series against the West Indies. Gambhir also said Hardik Pandya needs more match practice before returning to international cricket and currently cannot bowl a full 10 overs, though both players could feature together in future lineups.
