#5. Gambhir was called as back-up despite media hype

Both the captain and coach have decided to call Gambhir to the test squad as a back up opener. However, the media hype created a buzz about Gambhir playing the game which no one has said before the match. The 34-year old will surely get the chance he deserved but the critics are being too critical on Virat Kohli who is leding the side by example as Team India are on a 11 match unbeaten streak.
