Gautam Gambhir may feel irritated due to this statement of Rohit Sharma, the captain said exactly the opposite of the coach.

Rohit Sharma statement: The Indian cricket team has faced a shameful defeat in the second test match played against New Zealand in Pune. Team India, which lost the Bangalore Test by 8 wickets, has to face defeat by 113 runs in the Pune Test. With this defeat, India has also lost this 3 test match series. Besides, the path to the World Test Championship final has also become difficult. After the match, Team India captain Rohit Sharma has given such a statement which may irritate head coach Gautam Gambhir.

Did Rohit?

During the presentation after the end of Pune Test, Team India captain Rohit Sharma said that, it is said that unless you are able to take 20 wickets in the Test, you will not be able to win the match. It is true that our bowlers bowled well in the Pune Test and bowled out New Zealand in both the innings but we could not win the match. The reason for this was our batting. If the batsmen do not score runs then we cannot win. This statement of Rohit was like an answer to Gautam Gambhir.

Gautam Gambhir's statement

Before the start of the Test series against New Zealand, Gautam Gambhir had said that it is the bowlers who win you the match, not the batsmen. If the batsman scores 1000 runs but if the bowler cannot take 20 wickets then you cannot win the test match. But even after the bowlers took 20 wickets in the Pune Test, Team India could not win because the batsmen did not perform well. In such a situation, Rohit Sharma's statement may hurt Gambhir.
