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.
Both Gambhir and Cummins have been handed over the reins of their respective sides ahead of this season after both teams endured mid-table finishes over the past few seasons.
The 42-year-old, who currently is the mentor of the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), suggested that the commentators and cricket experts must be balanced in their approach when it comes to these young players as such praises after mere two-three performances could backfire for them.
The Statesman understands that Gambhir has no experience of coaching at international or domestic level but has been in charge of the coaching staff at two IPL franchises.
In their heydays, both Gambhir and Dhoni were instrumental in two of India’s three ICC title wins.
Gambhir, whose association with the franchise dates back to the fourth edition of the IPL in 2011, was instrumental in reviving a struggling side, taking them to the knockout stages in his first year as captain. Subsequently, the KKR went on to win two titles between 2012 and 2014.
