Gautam Gambhir returns to India due to family emergency ahead of first Test
Indian cricket team coach Gautam Gambhir urgently returned home ahead of the beginning of the Test series between England and India in the upcoming days.
The team has suffered a major blow as coach Gautam Gambhir had to return home as his mother suffered a heart attack, reported India Today.

The Indian news channel reported that Gambhir will join the team on 17th June, just three days ahead of the first Test at Headingley, Leeds.
