Gautam Gambhir has left the Indian team midway during the Ahmedabad Test against England and returned to Delhi because of the death of his grandmother. The BCCI said no decision has been reached as yet on when Gambhir will be back in action.
Gambhir did not take the field on the third evening, but was in the dressing room.
If England, who are following on and began the fourth day 219 behind with all their wickets intact, make India bat again, Gambhir is unlikely to open the innings because he has been off the field for an extended period for reasons other than an external injury.
