"There is still space for 50-over format in international cricket. It gives batsmen an opportunity to show their talent, particularly the middle-order batsmen. Test is the toughest form of the game," Gambhir said.
Asked about the upcoming season, Gambhir said the Indian team is well-prepared to handle the challenges, which include a tri-series in Sri Lanka and Champions Trophy in South Africa. "If we play to our potential and continue to perform with positive approach, we will do very well in the coming season," he said.
Gambhir dismissed suggestions that Indian batsmen could not deal with the short ball well.
"It is only a hype that has been created. We do not face any such problems. I do not see it as a problem in our team," he said.
Asked about the Delhi players' recent stand-off with their state association, Gambhir said he doesn't know whether the row has ended permanently. "I do not know whether it has been resolved temporarily or permanently," he said.
