News India Live, Digital Desk: There are some days in Indian cricket history that we never want to remember, and today is probably one of them. After New Zealand now South Africa has also defeated Team India in its own home and on its own pitches.
Yes, this is the Indian team which defeating at home was like “chewing iron grams” for any foreign team. But now it seems that our fort has collapsed. And who do the fans consider most responsible for this? our head coach Gautam Gambhir To.
After this crushing defeat, there is only one noise from social media to TV studios: “Remove Gambhir from coaching.”
Why are the fans so angry?
Look, we all believe that winning and losing is a part of the game. But the way Team India is playing, it is not being digested. South Africa defeated India clean sweep (or a crushing defeat), and that too in a condition where our spinners should have ruled.
People’s anger has erupted because when Gautam Gambhir became the coach, there were a lot of expectations from him. He was revered for his aggression and “never give up” attitude. But the results are completely opposite.
One user took a jibe on social media and wrote, “If you are not able to beat a team like South Africa at home, then 2027 World Cup Stop dreaming of winning. Forget that dream.”
Is Gambhir’s chair in danger?
This defeat has raised many questions on Gambhir’s strategies:
- Confusion regarding pitch: Do we not know what kind of pitch to make? Sometimes turning track and sometimes batting friendly, we are stuck in this dilemma.
- Form of senior players: The bat of veterans like Rohit and Virat is silent and the new boys are not able to bear the pressure.
- Changes in “Kitchen”: Fans are saying that Gambhir is not able to handle the dressing room atmosphere of the team, as it was during the time of Ravi Shastri or Rahul Dravid.
Former cricketers and analysts are also now saying in hushed tones that if the situation does not improve soon, then BCCI May have to take a tough decision. Losing back-to-back home series in Test cricket is no small thing.
What does Gambhir have to say?
However, Gautam Gambhir has responded to this criticism in his own style. When asked at the press conference about his resignation or pressure, he reminded that “I am the same coach under whom we have recently performed well in some big tournaments (like the Champions Trophy or the Asia Cup – as is being discussed in the news).”
But public memory is weak sir! In cricket you “last match” are known for, and the last match was a nightmare.
Now the question is whether BCCI will give them longer time till World Cup 2027, or will a new order come soon? Whatever be the case, at present the mood of the fans of Team India is very bad.
