Questions started being raised on Gambhir after 3 months, he/she has got special power

New Delhi. The clean sweep defeat of the Indian team against New Zealand in the Test series shocked everyone. This unprecedented defeat has put Gautam Gambhir under immense pressure, barely 3 months after being appointed as the head coach of Team India. Gambhir was appointed as the coach of the team with much fanfare. Along with this, recently he/she was also included in the selection committee meeting for the Australia tour. his/her initial report card with the national team clearly shows that things are not looking good for the former opener. Gambhir has also been given a lot of freedom in team selection matters and if there is no major improvement in the team’s performance during the Australia tour, then he/she will not be able to play an important role in team related issues in the future.

Soon after Gautam Gambhir took charge, India lost an ODI series to Sri Lanka for the first time in 27 years. Then New Zealand defeated its team 3-0 in the home test on Sunday. India had never before been swept in a series of three or more matches. The coach can only plan with the team, but despite knowing the weakness of the Indian batsmen against the spinners, questions are being raised on him/her for selecting a pitch that completely favors the spinners in Mumbai. Gambhir wants the same attitude from the players in every situation, which is difficult to understand even for people closely associated with Indian cricket.

‘Did you go to play the match without preparation?’ Sachin angry over Team India’s shameful defeat, raised many questions

Neither Virat Kohli, nor Rohit Sharma, Harbhajan Singh consider him/her the culprit of the defeat – ‘Congratulations…’

Gautam Gambhir was given such authority which…
The agreement to send fast bowler Mohammed Siraj as nightwatchman on the second evening of the third Test against New Zealand in Mumbai and sending Sarfaraz Khan at number eight in the first innings are some of the strategic steps on which everyone is raising questions. A BCCI source told PTI on condition of anonymity, ‘Gautam Gambhir was given such authority which his/her predecessors Ravi Shastri and Rahul Dravid did not have. BCCI rules do not allow coaches to be part of the selection committee meetings, but there was an exception for the selection meeting of the Australia tour.

‘The head coach was allowed to participate’
A board source said, ‘Considering the importance of the tour, the head coach was allowed to participate in it.’ Delhi and KKR fast bowler Harshit Rana and Andhra and SRH all-rounder Nitish Reddy are among the two players who have been selected in the team for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy on the demand of the head coach. The Australia series will be a tough test for Gambhir as he/she may have to defend some veteran players and show them a mirror. Because the board is keeping a close eye on them.
