He is a fantastic player and I think some of our bowlers must be happy that he is not playing.

For me India is all more special as I began my Test career here. I have many fond memories and now it&#8217;s more special to come back as a captain,\u201d said Clarke, adding that because of the IPL the comfort level of the players has certainly changed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPlayers now know what the conditions are like when they come to India. The IPL has also been fantastic in that it has built relationships between players all around the world,\u201d said the Aussie skipper.<\/p>\n<p>Talking about his own career, he said that it&#8217;s been up and down. \u201cI guess I have had some good times, when the team has had a lot of success and I have scored some runs. I have had some tough times as well when I have been dropped from the Test team. But things are going in the right direction now as the team is playing well and I am able to captain Australia,\u201d said Clarke.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>By Indian Sports News<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" alignleft size-full wp-image-4634\" style=\"margin-right: 6px; margin-left: 6px; float: left;\" alt=\"gautam-gambhir\" src=\"https:\/\/indiansportsnews.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/gautam-gambhir.jpg\" height=\"200\" width=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/indiansportsnews.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/gautam-gambhir.jpg 200w, https:\/\/indiansportsnews.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/gautam-gambhir-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/>Chennai:<\/strong> Showing some surprise on the omission of opener Gautam Gambhir from the Indian Test team, Australian skipper Michael Clarke said that some of his bowlers must be happy that the left-hander won\u2019t be playing in the first two Tests. <br \/>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was a bit surprised by his omission from the Test team.
