Fans bemused as Gautam Gambhir misses out on team photo after England series win
Soon after India completed another dominant victory over England by bowling the visitors out on Day 5 of Chennai Test, the whole squad had gathered for a comprehensive team photo which was supposed to include every remember of the squad who was named in the 5-match Test series.
Be it middle-order batsman Ajinkya Rahane, seamer Bhuvneshwar Kumar, all-rounder Hardik Pandya, Wriddhiman Saha or Mohammed Shami, everyone was a part of the final picture barring Gautam Gambhir.
Though Gambhir missed out on the team photo, he did congratulate the squad with a tweet.
Gautam Gambhir
@GautamGambhir
Prolific with the bat, lethal with the ball and ruthless in the field. Deservedly number 1 in the world, congratulations India! #INDvENG
"Prolific with the bat, lethal with the ball and ruthless in the field. Deservedly number 1 in the world, congratulations India!"- Gautam had tweeted.
Gambhir had no other commitments for the day and all other players were peresent in Chennai for the celebration. It does raise a question or two as to why the Delhi batsman wasn't present at the venue – was it because of a new conflict with selectors or BCCI or some personal reason.
No clarification behind Gautam's absence could be gathered.
Gambhir was a part of the 15-man squad for 2nd match but was released after KL Rahul had made his comeback from injury.

Shami to miss ODI series against England
India's pace spearhead Mohammed Shami will miss the One-Day International (ODI) and Twenty20 International (T20I) series against England early next year due to his right-knee injury. Shami, who got hurt during the third Test against England and was forced to pull out of the Test series, will be out of action for more than a month.
The 26-year-old pacer had suffered a left-knee injury in the past and is now recovering from an injury to his right knee which is still sore.
It is learnt that Shami's place in the ODI team could go to Ishant Sharma. The selectors could also discuss the name of Ashish Nehra, who told the Times Of India (TOI) recently that he wants to continue playing T20 cricket for India.
The spate of injuries to key players could put the national selectors in a spot of bother to select the openers for the ODIs against England. With Ajinkya Rahane recovering from injury and hoping to be fit for the series, the selectors could bring back Shikhar Dhawan or pick triple centurion Karun Nair as injured Rohit Sharma's replacement.
