Watch: Gambhir posts serious message about returning to Kohli's team once again

Veteran opener Gautam Gambhir may have been dropped from India's Test squad but that doesn't stop him from preparing another comeback. Well that's what his recent Twitter update indicates.

Back in the Ranji fold after losing his place to Karnataka youngster KL Rahul, Gambhir took to Twitter to express his desire to return to the Indian team once again. The 35-year-old uploaded two short video messages which showcased inspiring quotes.

"Every minute spent in practice is a step towards success!," the Delhi cricketer tweeted making it certain that he is leaving stones unturned to score big in India's premier domestic tournament.

After this message, one thing can surely be said that Rahul and other Indian openers have to be on their toes because the senior pro will not let the race for a permanent opener's slot ease out so easily.
