News India Live, Digital Desk: Whenever the Indian cricket team loses a match or series, the first blame falls on the captain and coach. Our head coach is like this these days Gautam Gambhir Is happening with. Recently, Gambhir has been targeted by trolls and former veterans on social media regarding the poor performance of the team. Everyone is saying that “the coaching is bad” or “the strategy was wrong”.
But amidst all this noise, a T20 World Cup winner player of Team India has strongly defended Gambhir and shown a mirror to the critics.
Who defended and what did they say?
This veteran player (who himself has been a part of the World Champion team) said in clear words that making the coach a scapegoat for every defeat should be stopped. He said a very important thing which every cricket fan should understand:
“Look, the coach’s job is to make strategies and prepare the players. But ultimately it is the player who has to go on the field with the bat and the ball. If the players do not perform, then what will the coach do by sitting outside? The coach cannot bat on your behalf.”
“It’s easy to point a finger”
This star player, who came out in support of Gambhir, believes that when we win, the players get the credit, then why is only the coach made the villain when we lose? This responsibility should be of the entire team. He said that Gambhir’s record and his mindset have always been about winning, he needs to be given some time.
What is the lesson for the fans?
We write anything on social media emotionally, but cricket is a team game. Players like 2007 T20 World Cup winner Robin Uthappa have also often said that it is important to be patient during the transition period. Gambhir’s job is to show direction, but it is the players’ job to follow that direction.
Now it remains to be seen how Gambhir’s ‘boys’ answer the critics with their game in the coming matches.
Cricket is a game of uncertainties, here the tables can turn at any time!
