More rights than Dravid-Shastri… After being eliminated by zero, Gautam Gambhir is entangled in many big questions, BCCI is not happy.
Cricket News Desk. Just three months after being appointed as the head coach of the Indian team, unprecedented series defeats against Sri Lanka and New Zealand have put Gautam Gambhir under immense pressure. Gambhir was appointed coach of the national team with much fanfare. Along with this, he was also included in the selection committee meeting for the Australia tour. His early report card with the national team clearly shows that things are not looking good for the former Indian opener.
Under Gambhir's leadership, Sri Lanka was once again embarrassed against New Zealand.
Gambhir has also been given a lot of freedom in the matter of team selection and if there is no major improvement in the team's performance during the Australia tour, then he will not be able to play an important role in team related matters in future. , Soon after Gambhir took charge, India lost the ODI series against Sri Lanka for the first time in 27 years, followed by a 3-0 whitewash by New Zealand in the home Test on Sunday. India had never before lost a Test in a series of three or more matches at home.
Questions are being raised on Gautam Gambhir
The same plan can be made with the Kutch team, but knowing the weakness of the Indian batsmen against spinners, questions are being raised on them choosing a pitch completely suited for 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. The decision to send fast bowler Mohammed Siraj as night watchman on the second evening of the third Test against New Zealand in Mumbai and the decision to send Sarfaraz Khan at number eight in the first innings are some strategic steps on which everyone is questioning.
Gotti received special rights
A BCCI source said on the condition of anonymity, 'Gautam Gambhir was given powers which his predecessors Ravi Shastri and Rahul Dravid did not have. BCCI rules do not allow coaches to attend selection committee meetings, but the selection meeting for the Australia tour was an exception, he said, adding that considering the importance of the tour, the head coach was allowed to attend. Went. Went.'
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 squad for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy on the demand of the head coach. The Australia series will be a tough test for Gambhir as he will have to fend off some veteran players and show them a mirror as the board keeps a close eye on him.
