News India Live, Digital Desk: The enthusiasm that fans had about Gautam Gambhir when he became the head coach of Team India, seemed to be decreasing significantly in recent months. When the team loses on the field, the first finger is pointed at the coach and captain. For some time, rumors were rife that the board was unhappy with Gambhir’s way of working and his tough decisions and he could be removed from the post of coach. Rajeev Shukla’s big statement (No More Sacking News) Putting an end to all these discussions, BCCI Vice President Rajeev Shukla has clarified the situation. He clarified that the board has no idea of changing the coach right now. Senior BCCI officials believe that Gambhir has not been around for much time and it is necessary to give some time for any major changes in the team. According to Shukla, BCCI assesses the work of the coach, but no one is removed on the basis of social media news. Gautam Gambhir is known for his attitude and outspoken decisions. Be it team selection or change in batting order, his strategy is often discussed. When these decisions prove to be right, he becomes a hero, and when they go wrong, the criticism is equally bitter. The defeat in Sri Lanka or the poor results of the home series against New Zealand had increased the challenges for him, due to which demands for his resignation or removal started rising. The way forward for Team India, BCCI is currently giving the message of standing with Gambhir so that the team remains stable before important milestones like Champions Trophy (2025) and World Test Championship. Building rapport between the players and the coach is an ongoing process, and Rajeev Shukla’s statement clearly shows that the board does not want to press the ‘panic button’ just yet. As a cricket lover, it will be interesting to see how coach Gambhir repays this trust with the team’s good performance. For now, Gambhir remains in his position and Indian cricket fans are eagerly waiting for the team’s next big win.
