Gautam Gambhir has been recalled to the Indian Test Team for the next two matches of the ongoing series against New Zealand at home.

In-form opener KL Rahul’s hamstring injury has made way for the stalwart to return to the dressing room after just two long years. Gambhir last turned out for India in the Oval Test against England in August 2014.
