The Indian cricket team is under pressure after losing the Melbourne Test against Australia. After winning the Test series against Bangladesh, the team’s performance is continuously deteriorating. The clean sweep against New Zealand at home surprised everyone. This was a result that no one expected. Then the morale was boosted by the victory in Perth on the Australia tour. But the defeats in Adelaide and Melbourne have troubled the players again.
Questions raised on players
The atmosphere in the dressing room has deteriorated due to continuous defeats. Questions are constantly being raised on senior players. The irresponsible attitude of some junior players has troubled the team management. After the defeat in Melbourne, head coach Gautam Gambhir is angry. He held the hands of the entire team in the dressing room. No one was seriously left out, whether it was Sears or Juniors.
Gautam Gambhir angry in dressing room
According to the report of Indian Express, Gambhir was very upset after the defeat in Melbourne. He told the players in the team meeting that a lot has happened. However, the Indian coach did not take anyone’s name. But the gist of his speech was that the players were acting arbitrarily in the name of natural play instead of playing as per the situation. Gambhir, who took over as coach on July 9, said that in the last six months he had allowed the team to play in his own way, but now he himself will decide how the team will play.
Players not following the strategy
Warning the players to follow the rules, he said that in future those who do not follow their pre-determined team strategy will be “thanked”. The team is trailing 1-2 in the current Border Gavaskar Trophy and qualification for the final of the World Test Championship is looking difficult. In this, Gambhir has set his limits and now his patience has given way.
Players play as they wish
Indian Express sources said that Gambhir has talked about conflict between intentions and the interests of the team. He has told the players that the players are working as per their own instead of pre-determined plans. He also said in the meeting that the batsmen have been performing poorly since the home series against Bangladeshi players.
