Gautam Gambhir vs Parth Jindal Controversy: The Indian team has won the three-match ODI series played between India and South Africa by 2-1. In the third and decisive match, the Indian team defeated South Africa by 9 wickets. After this victory, Indian team head coach Gautam Gambhir took aim at the owner of an IPL team and advised him to stay within his limits.

After winning the ODI series, Gautam Gambhir reached the press conference. Where he said without naming anyone, “There were people who had nothing to do with cricket, they were also giving their opinion. People should stay within their limits. If I do not come under anyone’s ambit, then they also have no right to come under my ambit.” Of course, Gautam Gambhir did not take anyone’s name, but his reference was to Delhi Capitals co-owner Parth Jindal. It was Parth Jindal who advocated separate coaches for each format.

Parth Jindal had demanded to have a separate coach

Parth had also made a post on social media. On Twitter, he wrote, “Nothing much, what a bad defeat at home. Don’t remember our Test team being so weak at home. This is what happens when red-ball specialists are not selected. It’s time for India to have a specialist Test coach for Test cricket.” Parth Jindal had also tagged BCCI in his post.
