Is Team India paying the price of reset? After 4 consecutive defeats, Gautam Gambhir broke his silence, told where the mistakes were happening

Gautam Gambhir: After losing 4 consecutive matches in T20 International, Team India’s head coach Gautam Gambhir spoke openly about the team’s performance. He admitted that the problem is not just about poor form or young players. After the embarrassing defeat of 125 runs in the third T20 match against England, Gambhir told for the first time what mistakes the team is making and what is the biggest weakness of the Indian team.

Where is Team India going wrong?

According to Indian team head coach Gautam Gambhir, the biggest mistake of the team is ‘game awareness’ i.e. reading the match and situations correctly. Gambhir believes that the Indian team failed to adapt itself to the conditions from the tour of Ireland to England and this became the biggest reason for the consecutive defeats.

The whole picture cannot be understood from the results – Gautam Gambhir

Gautam Gabhir has clearly said that the current Indian team cannot be compared with the team that won the T20 World Cup. He reminded that the team has completely changed. Now the captain has changed, the opening pair is new, experienced players like Hardik Pandya and Jasprit Bumrah are not part of the team. He said, ‘When you reset the team, things have to be given time. 15-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi is playing the opening role, Prince Yadav played his second T20 match and Harshit Rana is returning from injury. In such a situation, the whole picture cannot be understood just by looking at the results.

Told the reason for defeat

Team India’s head coach Gautam Gambhir attributed India’s defeat to thinking and decisions rather than technique. He said that the team continuously lagged behind in understanding the circumstances of the match. According to the Indian coach, the batsmen and bowlers have to understand how the pitch is behaving. These small things make a big difference in T20 cricket. He said, ‘We from Ireland were not able to adapt ourselves to the circumstances. If we had understood the situation better, we would not have lost 4 consecutive matches.
