Key Points:
Panesar suggested that Gambhir should talk to Ranji Trophy cricket coaches to develop an understanding of team building in red-ball cricket.
Delhi: Under the leadership of head coach Gautam Gambhir, the Indian Test team is constantly facing challenges. Team India’s performance in Test cricket has not lived up to expectations.
Clean sweep twice in test
After Gautam Gambhir became the head coach, the Indian team has had to face clean sweep twice in Test cricket. New Zealand defeated India 3-0 in the three-match Test series, while India lost the series 2-0 against South Africa. After these results, questions are being raised on Gambhir’s coaching and the preparation of the team.
Monty Panesar’s opinion on Gambhir
Former England spinner Monty Panesar has expressed his frank opinion regarding Gambhir’s coaching tenure. Panesar believes that Gambhir is a good white-ball coach because he has had success in this format. However, the situation is different in Test cricket, and here the team still needs a lot of work.
Advice to learn from Ranji Trophy
Panesar suggested that Gambhir should talk to Ranji Trophy cricket coaches to develop an understanding of team building in red-ball cricket. He says that Gambhir himself can also coach at Ranji Trophy level, which will help him understand how players are prepared for Test cricket.
It will take time to return to Test cricket
The former England cricketer finally said that players earn more in T20 cricket, whereas in Test cricket, there is more hard work and less money. For this reason red-ball cricket is not getting priority. According to Panesar, it will take time for the Indian Test team to become strong again and for this the domestic cricket system will also have to be strengthened.
