India will face Afghanistan in a one-off Test at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur, New Chandigarh, from June 6 to June 10. The selectors have named a 15-member squad for the match, with Shubman Gill leading the side and KL Rahul serving as vice-captain.
“See, responsibility is only for playing for India. The rest of everything else is a by-product. When you start playing for India, you don't think about being a vice-captain. You think about doing good for India,” Gambhir told reporters.
Pant struggled with Lucknow Super Giants during IPL 2026. The left-handed batter also had a disappointing Test series in South Africa, where he scored 49 runs at an average of 12.25 in four innings as India lost the series 0-2.

“It's not like we will tell him that you have to curb your game. But in international cricket, it is very important to play the situation. It is important to read the situation. At that time, what kind of situation the team is in, what kind of situation it demands and what kind of shot to play.”
Gambhir's comments come after Pant faced criticism for his shot selection during the second Test against South Africa in Guwahati. The wicketkeeper-batter threw away his wicket at a crucial stage of the match. Pant had captained India in that Test, which ended in a 408-run defeat.
