Gautam Gambhir News: After the series being played against Australia, the chair of Team India’s head coach Gautam Gambhir is also not considered safe. According to media reports, Gautam Gambhir may be relieved of the responsibility of head coach after the Champions Trophy to be held next month. There are talks of handing over the responsibility of head coach to veteran cricketer VVS Laxman in place of Gautam Gambhir.
Informed sources say that VVS Laxman will take over the responsibility of head coach during the Test series to be played against England. However, it has also been said in media reports that Laxman will join Team India as the head coach during the Test team, while Gautam Gambhir will continue to fulfill the responsibility of head coach in limited overs matches.
The team’s performance deteriorated after Gambhir became the head coach.
Actually, after Gautam Gambhir took over the responsibility of head coach, the performance of Team India has not been good and due to this, questions are being raised not only about the senior players of Team India but also about Gautam Gambhir. During Gambhir’s coaching, Team India had to face defeat during the ODI series against Sri Lanka. After this, Team India had to face a humiliating 0-3 defeat against New Zealand at home.
After Gambhir became the head coach, Team India was all out for 46 runs, the lowest score at home in a Test innings. With this, Team India’s journey of winning the Test series at home for 12 years also ended. Team India’s performance during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia has also not been good. There have also been reports of differences of opinion between Gautam Gambhir and Team India captain Rohit Sharma. Both have not been unanimous on many decisions.
News of tension in Team India’s dressing room
There was also talk of tension in the dressing room during the series being played against Australia. Gautam Gambhir had sternly reprimanded the team players and even warned them of throwing them out of the team. He said that the players of Team India will have to play as per the demand and situation of the time. Experts say that many players are not liking Gautam Gambhir’s coaching style and it has had a very bad effect on the team’s performance.
Now, during the fifth Test match being played against Australia in Sydney, Team India’s regular captain Rohit Sharma has been shown the way out and in his place fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah is captaining Team India.
Gambhir had already decided not to include Rohit in the team and this was known during his press conference itself. Although it is being claimed that Rohit himself has decided to stay out during the Sydney Test match, but the truth behind the scenes is telling something else.
Laxman may get big responsibility
After Team India’s tour of Australia, the England team will come to India. During this period, England team will play T20 and ODI series against India. After this, Team India has to play a Test series against England in June. Team India will tour England to play this series. The new World Test Championship will also start with this series.
Experts say that during this series, former cricketer VVS Laxman will take over the responsibility of the head coach of Team India. Laxman has previously handled the responsibility of head coach on some tours of Team India and has given good results. For this reason, it is believed that he can be given a big responsibility by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).
