Gautam Gambhir says Test cricket requires character after Colombo draw
Gautam Gambhir says Test cricket needs character after India fail to close out Colombo Test.
India head coach Gautam Gambhir stated that Test cricket demands character following the drawn second Test against Sri Lanka in Colombo.
India secured a 1-0 series win but Sri Lanka's Sonal Dinusha scored two centuries to frustrate the visitors' push for victory. Gambhir emphasized the mental fortitude required to close out matches on the subcontinent.
The result has complicated India's path to the World Test Championship final with seven matches remaining in the cycle.
