India coach Gautam Gambhir says he is not focused on Test match rankings and does not view the team’s recent run as evidence of struggle. In comments reported by both outlets, he argues that the side is playing reasonable Test cricket and that rankings are not a determining measure of progress.
Gambhir also calls for more three-Test series, saying longer stretches give teams time to recover after early losses and adjust. Both reports describe him as having discussed future direction and progress with Ajit Agarkar. While the outlets frame the remarks as a response to India’s results since mid-2024, they present the same central message: Gambhir is emphasizing process and development over standings. Neither outlet cites a specific ranking position or match-by-match detail, but both reflect his view that there is still room to improve through extended series and continuity.
