New Zealand defeated the host team by 8 wickets in the first test. And in the second test match, we were defeated by 113 runs. In this way, Team India has lagged behind in the series by 0-2. Now, to save his credibility, he needs to win the third Test match starting from November 1. Now Gautam Gambhir has broken his silence on the disappointing performance of the Indian team. He said that he is feeling sad about losing the series. But it is expected that the players will learn from the mistakes and perform better in the third Test to be played at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Gambhir also stressed that players should not be sad after a Test defeat, whether it is playing at home or in overseas conditions. Only that injury will make us better – Gautam Gambhir Gambhir said in the press conference before the third Test, “Obviously, it is sad. And it’s good that it’s hurting because it should make us sad. Every time you lose a game, whether at home or away, it must be sad. That hurt will only make us better. Sometimes people say that there should be no pain. But it should hurt.” He further said, “When you are playing for your country, what is wrong in being in that position? Especially for the youth, as much as it is hurting them, I am sure they will keep pushing themselves to keep getting better. Because we want to see them exactly like that. Pushing myself every day to become a better cricketer. And something special has to be done. Because if we have the results like we had in Kanpur, we can also have similar results. And take that hit and keep moving forward.” Since Gambhir became the coach, India lost the ODI series against Sri Lanka, while recently lost the Test series against the Kiwis at home. Speaking on this, Gambhir said that he never expected an easy performance in international cricket. But he wants his players to keep working hard and prepare well if the results go in their favor.
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.
“Social media does not decide the playing eleven” – Gautam Gambhir said on the criticism of KL Rahul

He has said that what will be the playing XI of the team for a match is decided by the team management. Playing eleven is not made on social media. Gambhir has also said that KL Rahul had played a good innings in Kanpur and the team management will continue to support him. However, Gautam Gambhir has not told that if Shubman Gill returns in the Pune Test match, will Sarfaraz Khan sit out or will KL Rahul be dropped for one match. Gautam Gambhir told the press conference before the second Test match to be played in Pune, “Social media does not decide the playing eleven. It is not important what social media or experts think, it is important what the team management thinks. He played a good innings on the difficult pitch of Kanpur. Yes, he would like to score big runs and this team management wants to support him.” It is clear from these statements of Gambhir that he wants KL Rahul to get a chance in some more matches also. If he does not score runs in these matches then he can be dropped further. KL Rahul was a flop in the first test against New Zealand
IND vs NZ: Manoj Tiwari is unhappy with the performance of Team India in the Bengaluru Test, gave a surprising statement about Rohit Sharma and Gautam Gambhir
In the first Test match played between Team India and New Zealand, the host had to face defeat. Gautam Gambhir & Rohit Sharma (Photo Source: Getty Images) In the first Test match played between Team India and New Zealand, the host had to face defeat. The players of Team India had failed to show good performance and that is why New Zealand won this match. After the end of the match, former player Manoj Tiwari has questioned the decisions of captain Rohit Sharma and head coach Gautam Gambhir. According to him, Team India did not take important decisions in the first test and that is why they had to face defeat. Manoj Tiwari told Cricbuzz, ‘Sometimes I cannot understand the decisions. There seems to be a lack of common sense. It is beyond my understanding what the coach and the captain are trying to prove. I think whenever a new coach or captain comes, he tries to prove something and takes such decisions. I don’t understand why Team India did not use Ravichandran Ashwin properly: Manoj Tiwari Former player Manoj Tiwari has also raised questions as to why experienced spinner Ravichandran Ashwin, who has taken more than 500 Test wickets, was not given the bowling during New Zealand’s second innings. Let us tell you that New Zealand needed 107 runs to win the first test. Ravichandran Ashwin came to bowl when New Zealand had scored 97 runs losing two wickets and the experienced player bowled only two overs in the second innings. Manoj Tiwari further said, ‘I knew that some spinner would get less overs but I did not think that it would be Ashwin. Ravichandran Ashwin has taken more than 500 Test wickets and when you are defending 107 runs, you need an aggressive bowler along with Jasprit Bumrah. Even good captains make mistakes because there is too much going on in your mind. There is a lot of need for a coach here but I don’t know why the mistake was made here that Ashwin was not given bowling. Another thing which was surprising was that Akash Deep was not included in the playing XI. Even good captains make mistakes because they have a lot going on in their mind. At present, Team India will have to make a strong comeback in the second test and both the coach and the captain will have to take many important decisions.

This was the best time for me to decide that ‘Okay, now it’s time for me to move on and focus on other things’. There are a lot of good players who can perform well for India.
