Hello And Welcome to CricTalks!

PREVIEW: A measure of stability returned for the hosts in the three-match ODI series. The comeback of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli brought composure and authority, guiding India to a 2–1 series win in three high-scoring contests. The result eased scrutiny on Gambhir and shifted attention back to the format in which he is yet to lose a series as head coach.

Gambhir’s numbers in the format remain impressive. India have won 20 of the 22 T20Is under him, a win percentage of 90.90, securing series victories over Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, England and Australia. The year has been marked by steady excellence: 13 wins in 17 matches, an unbeaten Asia Cup campaign, a dominant 4-1 result against England and a hard-earned 2-1 series win in Australia. Since their T20 World Cup triumph, where they stitched together eight consecutive wins, India have extended their tally to 26 victories with just four defeats, without conceding a single series.

The upcoming contests now signal the final stretch of preparation for next year’s T20 World Cup. India have 10 matches left before the tournament, all on home soil: five against South Africa and five against New Zealand. They have not hosted a T20I since early February, when they clinched the England series, but the conditions awaiting them are expected to be familiar and favourable.

South Africa’s tour, meanwhile, enters its decisive leg. The first of five T20Is begins on Tuesday, offering both sides a crucial dress rehearsal ahead of the World Cup starting on 7 February. For several players, the series carries an added layer of stakes, unfolding just days before the 2026 IPL auction in Abu Dhabi on 16 December.

With similar surfaces expected during the February–March World Cup, India have the personnel to handle these conditions. The next few weeks will be vital in refining roles, tightening combinations and identifying the XI that will shoulder the expectations of a title defence at home.

The returns of Shubman Gill and Hardik Pandya offer India renewed balance and depth. Gill had been sidelined for nearly a month after suffering a neck spasm during the opening Test, and with a heavy workload since the last IPL, his management will be closely monitored. With 837 runs in 33 T20Is at an average of 29.89, this series forms an essential part of his World Cup preparation.
