Former Indian captain and popularly known as Dada in the cricket world, Sourav Ganguly has recently made a big statement about star wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant. Ganguly says that Pant is on his way to becoming GOAT (Greatest of All Time) in Tests.

It is worth noting that after a terrible car accident in December 2022, after staying away from cricket for about two years, Pant made a comeback to cricket through IPL 2024. So, by performing brilliantly in the IPL, he not only made a place in Team India again, but also played T20 World Cup 2024 for the Indian team.

After the accident, Pant has returned to ODI and T20 for India. Now he can also return to Test cricket against Bangladesh from 19 September. It is worth noting that recently BCCI has announced the team for the first Test against Bangladesh, in which Pant’s name is present.

Team India’s bad phase started as soon as Gautam Gambhir became the head coach, statistics are testifying.

Team India’s performance under Gautam Gambhir has been disappointing. Gautam Gambhir (Photo Source: The Indian team is currently playing a three-Test series against New Zealand at home. Team India’s performance in the series has been very poor. New Zealand has already won the two matches played so far in this series and has taken an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series. The third match of the series will now be played at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. In this way, the Indian team has once again performed poorly during the tenure of coach Gautam Gambhir. Let us tell you that after the end of Rahul Dravid’s tenure, Gautam Gambhir was appointed the head coach of Team India. As soon as he arrived, a big change was seen in India’s coaching staff. From batting coach to bowling coach to fielding coach, he brought everything as per his wish, but despite this, the performance of the team is deteriorating. This is India’s second series defeat during his coaching tenure, before this Team India had lost the ODI series against Sri Lanka. In this article today we will tell you how the performance of Team India has been since Gautam Gambhir became the head coach. Team India’s performance under Gautam Gambhir has been poor so far Gautam Gambhir’s tenure started with India’s tour of Sri Lanka in the month of July this year. During this period, Team India played a series of three T20 and three ODI matches. Surya & Company won the T20 series by 2-0. But in the ODI series, India had to face 2-0 defeat against Sri Lanka. The Indian team had lost the ODI series on Sri Lankan soil after 27 years. After this, Bangladesh team came on India tour in September. In this series, the Indian team had made a clean sweep of Bangladesh in the Test and T20 series. Now Rohit Sharma’s team was playing a three-Test series against New Zealand. Along with losing the first two test matches, many shameful records have been registered in the name of the Indian team. In this series, India first had to face defeat by 8 wickets in the Bengaluru Test. By winning the Bengaluru Test, New Zealand succeeded in winning a Test match against India on Indian soil after 36 years. With the series loss, India’s record of winning most consecutive Test series (18) on home soil has now ended. After 12 years, India has lost the Test series on its own soil.
