Head coach Gautam Gambhir bluntly scolds Rishabh Pant! After snatching the vice-captaincy, the way of playing will have to be changed at any cost.

At present, the biggest and shocking news of the sports world is coming out from the camp of Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and Team India. The process of taking tough decisions within the team, which started after head coach Gautam Gambhir took charge, has now included Rishabh Pant, considered the biggest match winner of the team. Taking a big and tough diplomatic decision, the team management has withdrawn the Vice Captaincy from Rishabh Pant. This big decision has not only surprised the cricket pundits but has also issued a very strong and clear message to the players inside the dressing room.

Gautam Gambhir’s blunt and strict warning given to Rishabh Pant According to sources, head coach Gautam Gambhir has had a very serious and one-to-one meeting with Rishabh Pant, in which he has informed Pant about his strategy without any hesitation. Gambhir has clearly told Pant that the place of any player in the team will not be decided on the basis of his past performance or star status. Gambhir believes that Rishabh Pant will now have to completely give up his old habit of losing wickets by playing irresponsible shots. The team currently needs a senior player who can stay at the crease and take the match till the last overs, and not just return to the pavilion after playing shots in the air.

After snatching the vice-captaincy, Rishabh Pant now faces the challenge of proving himself. Taking away the vice-captaincy from Rishabh Pant is being considered as a big turning point in his career. After this decision of Gambhir, the pressure on Pant has increased a lot, because now he will have to change his entire approach to the game to keep his place in the team. Gambhir wants Pant to learn to bat according to the situation of the game without reducing his aggression. If Pant is not able to adapt himself to this new pattern, then the team management already has options of excellent wicketkeeper batsmen like KL Rahul, Sanju Samson and Dhruv Jurel, which is a big warning for Pant.

Fitness and continuity are the biggest parameters in the new era of Indian cricket. Cricket critics say that with this new and tough diplomacy of Gautam Gambhir, it has become clear that in Indian cricket, now not just ‘impact’ but ‘consistency’ will be given the highest priority. Various types of discussions have started on social media and among fans regarding this strict attitude of Gambhir. Some people are considering this as an excess on Pant, while big experts say that this ‘hard love’ i.e. strict attitude of Gambhir was very important to further enhance a great talent like Pant and make him a responsible player. Now the eyes of the whole world are on how Rishabh Pant returns to the field after this setback.
