Gambhir shared his views ahead of India's one-off Test against Afghanistan. The upcoming match will be played at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in New Chandigarh from June 6 to June 10 and could potentially be affected by the revised playing conditions if they are introduced.
"I love that. In fact, I've always believed that if there's an opportunity to get a result, you should always have that opportunity," Gautam Gambhir told reporters at the pre-match press conference.
India are currently sixth in the WTC 2025-27 standings with 48.15 percent of the available points from nine matches. They suffered a 2-0 home series defeat against South Africa, making every result even more important in the race for a place in the WTC final.
It Could Be Difficult for the Players, But It's a Positive Move - Gautam Gambhir

ICC Introduces Pink-Ball Trial to Reduce Poor-Light Interruptions in Tests
The ICC introduced the revised guidelines to maximize playing time in weather-affected matches. The changes are designed to help teams complete the scheduled number of overs each day, with the ICC and the Marylebone Cricket Club also exploring new lighting solutions to reduce interruptions caused by poor light.
Under the proposed trial, match officials can only introduce the pink ball if both teams agree before the start of the match. India have experience with day-night Test cricket, having played five pink-ball Tests so far.
