In the aftermath of India’s 3-1 series loss to Australia that led Rohit Sharma’s men to concede the Border-Gavaskar Trophy for the first time in a decade, former India batter Manoj Tiwary criticised current national team head coach Gautam Gambhir, terming him a ‘hypocrite,’ and went on to suggest that the ex-India opener doesn’t does not walk the talk.
India’s 3-1 series loss to Australia has raised questions over thefutures of two of the team’s struggling statesmen — Rohit Sharma andVirat Kohli — but head coach Gautam Gambhir insisted that the duo’sfuture plans are entirely their call and the decision to retire or notlies with the players themselves.
In the aftermath of the series-conceding loss in the Melbourne Test, India head coach Gautam Gambhir had emphasised on a team-first approach, leaving it to the players to decide whether their natural game would work for the team’s cause, while skipper Rohit Sharma was more direct on placing the onus on Rishabh Pant to work out his way for what’s in the best interest of the team.
Team India head coach Gautam Gambhir will miss his side’s upcoming two-day tour game against the Prime Minister's XI in Canberra starting on November 30 due to personal reasons.
Recalling his interaction with Gambhir during his first full Test series for India in 2012, Ashwin revealed that the opening batter was one of the very few from outside his home state of Tamil Nadu to give him a lot of confidence as a new-comer.
It has been learnt that the CAC comprising former India cricketers Ashok Malhotra, Jatin Paranjape and Sulakshana Naik, interviewed Gambhir virtually for the first round, and another round of discussion is expected to take place on Wednesday.
With Rahul Dravid set to vacate the position post the ICC men's T20 World Cup 2024, the BCCI had already invited new applicants for the role. The deadline to apply for the role was May 27 but it is still not clear if Gambhir has submitted his application.
Gambhir, who recently guided the Kolkata Knight Riders to a third Indian Premier League title triumph after 10 years, is widely speculated to take over from Dravid once the latter’s tenure culminates at the end of the T20 World Cup.
On Sunday, the triumphant outfit, expectedly drenched in emotion after their third Indian Premier League (IPL) title win, also highlighted the contributions of assistant coach Abhishek Nayar and former captain Dinesh Karthik for shaping the team into a championship-winning force.
