Will Gautam Gambhir lose the post of head coach due to poor performance in test? BCCI responded amid rumors

BCCI on Gautam Gambhir: Since Gautam Gambhir became the head coach, the condition of Team India in Test cricket has been miserable. For the first time in the history of Test cricket, the Indian team was embarrassed at home by New Zealand, while the dream of winning the Border-Gavaskar Trophy for the third consecutive time in Australia was also shattered.

At the same time, South Africa was also successful in breaking the fort of India. In view of the shameful performance of Team India in the longest format of cricket, questions are being raised on Gautam Gambhir. Rumors are also flying that VVS Laxman can be appointed as the Test coach in place of Gambhir. However, for the first time BCCI has broken its silence on this entire issue.

BCCI broke silence regarding Gambhir

BCCI Secretary Devjit Saikia, while talking to India Today, completely rejected the news of removal of Gautam Gambhir from the post of Test coach. He called it just a rumour. Saikia said, “There has been no discussion of any kind about Gautam Gambhir. Apart from this, no other coach has been contacted. These things are just rumors and nothing else.”

He has also made it clear that Gambhir will continue to work with the Indian team as per his contract and there is no threat to his position at present. Not only this, but the BCCI Secretary has also clearly rejected the talk of making changes in the coaching staff.

Team India’s condition is bad in test

Team India is struggling badly in the longest format of cricket. After the retirement of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, the batting order of the Indian team is also flopping badly in front of the spinners. Team India had to lose the series 2-0 at the hands of South Africa in its own home. South Africa won the second test match of the series by a huge margin of 408 runs. This was also the biggest defeat of the Indian team in terms of runs.
