India are set to play a five-match Test series in England in June this year.<\/p>\n<p>Gautam Gambhir is currently on a break with the IPL 2025 season ongoing, which will end on June 3. Gambhir was the mentor of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/team\/kolkata-knight-riders\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Kolkata Knight Riders<\/a> (KKR) last year but left the position after being appointed the head coach of the Indian team.<\/p>\n<p>He recently helped the team win the 2025 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/go\/icc-champions-trophy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Champions Trophy<\/a>, and the next big assignment will be the England Test series. Gambhir was seen visiting the Kamakhya Temple in Assam ahead of the series, where he offered prayers. <\/p>\n<p><template id=\"also-read-articles-template\"><\/p>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<p>The former Indian cricketer and current head coach could also be seen entering the temple amid heavy security before offering his prayers.

During the 2024-25 Border Gavaskar Trophy, all-rounder <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/player\/r-ashwin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Ravichandran Ashwin<\/a> had also announced his retirement from international cricket.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, the Indian team in England will be without the services of the three stalwarts. A new era is all set to begin under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/player\/shubman-gill\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Shubman Gill<\/a>, who has been named the captain of the Test team, with Rishabh Pant his deputy.<\/p>\n<p>Without the presence and experience of the three senior players, it is going to be a major test for Gambhir, who is yet to taste success as head coach in Test cricket. While he did win the Champions Trophy, India suffered back-to-back Test series defeats against New Zealand at home and Australia away. <\/p>\n<div class=\"article-post-rating-widget\">\n<p><template id=\"post-rating-feedback-modal-template\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-feedback-box\">\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-content\">\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-data\">\n<p>Why did you not like this content?<\/p>\n<p><textarea id=\"dislike-feedback-text\" rows=\"4\" placeholder=\"Please type your feedback...\"\/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<button class=\"close\">Cancel<\/button><br \/>\n<button class=\"submit\">Submit<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-widget-parent hidden\">\n<div class=\"rating-parent-container\">\n<div class=\"rating-content-holder\">\n<p>Was this article helpful?<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-action-container\">\n<div class=\"like-container\">\n<button class=\"post-rating-like-button post-rating-button\" data-action=\"like\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"post-like-image post-rating-image\" src=\"https:\/\/statico.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" alt=\"like selected\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"dislike-container\">\n<button class=\"post-rating-dislike-button post-rating-button\" data-action=\"dislike\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"post-dis-like-image post-rating-image\" src=\"https:\/\/statico.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" alt=\"avatar selected\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\nThank You for feedback\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-author-info-parent\">\n<span class=\"about-the-author\">About the author<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"author-info-holder\">\n<div class=\"author-pic-holder\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"author-pic\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,&lt;svg width=\" height=\"100\"\/><rect width=\"100\" height=\"100\" style=\"fill:rgb(128, 128, 128);\"\/>&#8221; data-lazy=&#8221;https:\/\/keedag.sportskeeda.com\/user-pic\/388993-1718886146-200.jpg?w=200&#8243;<br \/>\nalt=&#8221;Rishab Vm&#8221; height=&#8221;72&#8243; width=&#8221;72&#8243;&gt;\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-bio-detail-holder\">\n<div class=\"author-bio\">\n<p class=\"author-bio\" id=\"author-bio-text\">\nRishabh is an Indian Sports writer at Sportskeeda who covers Kabaddi, Hockey, Indian football and Olympic sports for the website.
