‘Winning trophies is my job, not views and likes’: Gautam Gambhir hits back at critics


Before the second Test match between India and Sri Lanka to be played in Colombo from Sunday, Indian team head coach Gautam Gambhir has shown a sharp attitude in front of the media. In this exciting two-match Test series, Team India is currently in a strong position with a 1-0 lead. Gambhir’s eyes are set on winning this match and making a historic win in the series, while this is a golden opportunity to end the drought of winning the Test series on foreign soil for the last three years.

Gautam Gambhir’s befitting reply to critics

Since becoming the head coach of the Indian team, the team’s performance in the Test format under the leadership of Gautam Gambhir has been up and down. During this period, the team has also faced defeat in some domestic and foreign series, after which questions are constantly being raised on their strategy. Responding to all these criticisms boldly, Gambhir made it clear that his main goal is only to win trophies on the field and not to collect likes and views on social media. He also made it clear that the team is not struggling and the ranking does not matter to them.

Team India is going through a period of change.

Gambhir also emphasized during the press conference that Indian cricket is going through a major change at the moment. New and young players are getting opportunities in the team, due to which some fluctuations in performance are natural. Despite this, the team has been playing excellent and disciplined cricket since the England tour. The players are giving their 100 per cent energy on the field and the same aggressive and positive attitude will be seen in the upcoming match against Sri Lanka.
