Talking to mediapersons in New Delhi, Gambhir said: I still feel that one bad tour or one good tour doesn t make you a good or a bad side.

We should have played to our potential but sometimes thing don t go your way.

"But I still believe that India has a lot of potential and great strength to still be number one in Test cricket and do well in one-day cricket, he added.

Gambhir further confirmed that he won t participate in the qualifying rounds of the Champions League.

I am not allowed right now to take part in any physical activity, he said.

The MS Dhoni-led team had lost the four-match Test series 4-0 and the five-match ODI series 3-0.

It means that they have lost the Test top spot and also dropped to fifth position in the International Cricket Council (ICC) s ODI ranking, a lowest position in the last three years.
