Gambhir attends Bhasma Aarti at Shri Mahakaleshwar Jyotirlinga

Gambhir recently returned to India after Team India's hard-fought 2-2 series draw against England away from home. This series holds plenty of significance in India's current cricketing scenario as the Test team is under transition with a young Shubman Gill leading the side in the absence of legends like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Ravichandran Ashwin. After a whitewash against New Zealand at home by 3-0 last year and a horrid tour to Australia where India lost by 1-3, this series gave a sigh of relief to Gambhir, Team India and fans alike.
