After Rahul Dravid, former Indian cricketer Gautam Gambhir has been appointed as the new head coach of Team India. It has been almost 4 months since Gambhir's coaching tenure, in these four months, many shameful records have been registered in the name of Team India under the coaching of Gautam Gambhir.
First, Sri Lanka defeated Team India in the ODI series after 26 years, then New Zealand defeated India for the first time in the Test series at home. After the 3-0 defeat in the Test series against New Zealand, questions are being raised on Gautam Gambhir's coaching. After which the big question is whether Gautam Gambhir's tenure will end now?
Will Gambhir's tenure end?
Gautam Gambhir's tenure as the head coach of the Indian cricket team may be short. If given a chance in July, Gambhir may have to step down or may be removed. It will depend on how Team India performs in the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25.
Team India faced defeat in a Test series at home for the first time since 2012. Before this, Team India was invincible in 18 series. The worst thing is that this was the first time that Team India had to face defeat in a series of 3 or more matches on home ground.
Gambhir's surprising decisions
According to media reports, Gambhir's decision to use big turning pitches in Mumbai did not go down well with many in the BCCI, especially as New Zealand had already won the series by defeating India on the spinning pitches of Pune. Apart from this, some of his decisions have also been shocking.
One of which was the decision to play two fast bowlers despite the pitches being dry in both Pune and Mumbai. Apart from this, it also felt strange to send Mohammad Siraj and Ravindra Jadeja in place of Sarfaraz Khan in the third test. While Washington Sundar might have been sent in at number one in place of Ravichandran Ashwin at least once, he came in at number nine three times.
