Gautam Gambhir: Team India’s head coach is in trouble, if he fails even in the Champions Trophy, he will be punished.
Crisis looms over Team India’s head coach Gautam Gambhir
Gautam Gambhir Team India head coach: The Indian cricket team is currently going through its worst phase. Runs are not being scored from the bat of any batsman. When Team India reached Australia tour, its start was quite spectacular. The Indian team had succeeded in winning the very first match in an excellent manner. After this, it seemed that Team India would once again crush Australia badly in the Border Gavaskar Trophy, but this time the picture is completely opposite. Four matches have been completed in the series and India is trailing. Even if India wins the last match to be held in Sydney, the series will still end in a draw. Meanwhile, clouds of trouble are looming over Gautam Gambhir, who recently took over the responsibility of the head coach of Team India. There is news that if the condition of Team India remains the same in the Champions Trophy, then Gautam Gambhir will be in trouble.
It will be very difficult to reach the final of the World Test Championship
Team India, captained by Rohit Sharma, is currently almost out of the final of the World Test Championship. Even if India wins the Sydney Test, its fate will not be in its hands. Not only this, India will have to hope that the Sri Lankan team defeats Australia. Although it is possible, but it would be unreasonable to expect from Sri Lanka the work which the Indian team could not do on its own. Meanwhile, if you feel that BCCI is sitting silently and watching the show, then it is not so. Top BCCI officials are keeping a close eye on everything and if the performance does not improve then head coach Gautam Gambhir may come under attack.
If the performance does not improve even in the Champions Trophy, then the head coach will be in trouble.
Meanwhile, a news has come out quoting PTI, which has created a sensation as soon as it came. It has been learned that the head coach of the Indian team, Gautam Gambhir is not in agreement with most of the players of the team. Not only this, his communication with the players is also not as good as it used to be during the time of Ravi Shastri and Rahul Dravid. It is learned that Gambhir, considered more outspoken, does not enjoy much confidence among the group of players who are not as old as Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, but not as new as Harshit Rana or Nitish Reddy. The big thing that has come out is that a senior BCCI official, on the condition of anonymity, has told PTI that there is one Test match left in this series and then there is the Champions Trophy. If the performance does not improve then Gautam Gambhir’s position will also not be safe. This thing has suddenly created a sensation.
Gautam Gambhir was not the first choice of head coach for BCCI
The matter does not end here. Gautam Gambhir’s equations with the selection committee, whose chairman is Ajit Agarkar, are also not clear. There is news that if India’s performance is not very good in the Champions Trophy to be held in February-March, then Gautam Gambhir will be dropped. BCCI official has told PTI that Gautam Gambhir was never the first choice of BCCI. The first choice was VVS Laxman, while some well-known foreign veterans had refused to become coaches in all three formats, so finally Gautam Gambhir’s name was stamped. There were some other compulsions also. Gambhir has already been asked some tough questions after the 0-3 defeat at home against New Zealand and if the Border-Gavaskar Trophy is also lost then things could become difficult for Gambhir.
Champions Trophy will be a big match between India and Pakistan
The Champions Trophy will start from 19th February. Team India will play its first match against Bangladesh on 20th February and after that there will be a big match against Pakistan on 23rd February. India also has to face New Zealand in its group match. If Team India lags behind in the match against Pakistan, then a big operation will be carried out by BCCI, which perhaps has not even been imagined yet. There are two ICC matches to be held next year. Even the final of WTC seems far away now. If there is no improvement even in the Champions Trophy, then big decisions can be taken. Gautam Gambhir had taken over the responsibility of the head coach of Team India at a time when the Indian team had returned after winning the T20 World Cup title under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, but now the condition of the same team is poor and it is yearning for one win. .
