Not only Sarfaraz Khan, the coach also leaked news, serious allegations against Gautam Gambhir's partner
Cricket News Desk. Amidst the ongoing turmoil in Indian cricket, some players are continuously in the headlines. Apart from coach Gautam Gambhir, a lot is also being said about experienced players like captain Rohit Sharma and senior batsman Virat Kohli. After the team's shameful defeat on the Australia tour, the discussion is more about the ongoing turmoil within the team than the defeat. Amidst all this, young batsman Sarfaraz Khan has also been accused of leaking the team's internal affairs to the media. But now it is being claimed that not only Sarfaraz, but a member of coach Gambhir's support staff has also been accused of leaking the news.
Uproar over dressing room news being leaked
Before the Sydney Test match on the Australia tour, a newspaper report had talked about the ongoing unrest and tension in the dressing room of Team India. The report said that after Team India's defeat in the Melbourne Test match, coach Gautam Gambhir had expressed his displeasure towards all the players. It was also claimed that many players in the team are competing for captaincy and differences are also arising between the coach and the captain. Apart from this, things are also not going well between the chief selector and coach Gambhir. Since then there has been continuous chaos.
After this, after Team India returned from Australia, BCCI held a review meeting, in which apart from the board officials, coach, captain and chief selector Ajit Agarkar were also present. Recently, a report claimed that the issue of leak was raised in the dressing room meeting and during this, coach Gambhir took the name of young batsman Sarfaraz Khan and accused him of leaking the news. Since then there has been a lot of uproar about this, but now another report has claimed that not only the player but also a member of the coaching staff was named in it and he is also accused of leaking the news.
A member of the coaching staff is also accused.
However, the report did not reveal the name of the support staff member. Gambhir's support staff includes Abhishek Nair, Morne Morkel, Ryan ten Deutsche and T Dilip, out of which, apart from Dilip, three other players have been included in the team on the recommendation of Gambhir. In such a situation, the fault lies on any one of these four. Now this report has come at a time when a second coach has been included in Team India for the series against England. This coach is Sitashu Kotak, who will join the team as batting coach.
Kotak is a coach at the National Cricket Academy and hence has been included by the BCCI. It is being claimed that Kotak has been called for this series at the behest of Gambhir. After this appointment, questions have started being raised whether Gambhir no longer has confidence in any of his assistant coaches. Abhishek Nair usually plays the role of batting coach in the coaching staff, so has Kotak come to replace him? This raises the question whether Kotak has been replaced by Nair on the basis of his performance, or whether the allegations made in the review meeting have any role in it. Perhaps this situation will become more clear in the near future.
