IND vs Eng Test Match: The team continues to lose in Test matches after former veteran batsman Gautam Gambhir became the coach. This situation is very disappointing for Indian cricket lovers. While Gautam Gambhir was seen as the great batsman and experienced player of the team on the one hand, on the other hand, the defeat in his coaching is raising many questions.
Team’s condition in Gautam Gambhir’s coaching
Gautam Gambhir has been appointed as the head coach of the Indian team some time ago. He was expected to strengthen the team with their strategy and experience, the youth would get the right direction. The performance of the Indian Test team has been disappointing after this appointment. In Gautam Gambhir’s coaching, the team has played 10 Test matches, out of which only 3 have won, while 6 have been defeated and 1 match draw. Accordingly, the percentage of victory is about 30 percent, which is worrying for Indian cricket.
Team lost 0-3 in domestic Test series
After Gautam Gambhir became the coach, the team first lost 0-3 in the domestic Test series against New Zealand. Which was the first time in the history of Indian Test cricket. After this, India lost 1-3 against Australia in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, which ended the team’s hopes of reaching the final of the World Test Championship. The Indian team’s record could not make the wrong decisions and matches under pressure in many important matches.
Young players got a chance in the team
Indian middle -order batsmen struggle and not being effective of bowling attack are believed to be the main reasons for the team’s defeat. Gautam Gambhir’s coaching style and the team’s performance in the performance has also come to light. It is also believed that cricket is a team game, along with coaching in defeat, players’ form, team management and strategies also have a big role. After Gautam Gambhir became the coach, many young players have been given a chance in the team.
Constant decline in team performance
Those who are gaining experiences, but the performance is not satisfactory. It is a challenging time for the Cricket Board of India (BCCI), as the team’s performance is at a steady decline, although the team’s performance in T20 Internationals has been better in Gautam Gambhir’s coaching. Where the team has won 6 matches. At the same time, a continuous defeat in Test cricket has raised questions on his coaching skills. If the team’s performance in the upcoming Test series does not improve, Gambhir’s coaching career may be severely questioned.
