Sanjay Manjrekar & Gautam Gambhir (Photo Source: Getty Images) India head coach Gautam Gambhir criticized Ricky Ponting for his comments on Virat Kohli’s form ahead of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. The former Australia captain commented that Kohli’s form is worrying and said that Sanjay Manjrekar told him that India’s star batsman has scored only two Test centuries in the last five years. Ricky Ponting also said during this time that no player with similar statistics will fit in any international team. Responding to the same, Gambhir told Ponting to focus on the Australian team and not think too much about India. Sanjay Manjrekar did not like this statement of Gambhir and now he has made a controversial tweet on social media. Sanjay Manjrekar made controversial tweet regarding Gautam Gambhir Manjrekjar requested the BCCI officials to keep Gautam Gambhir away from work like press conferences as he does not have the right conduct or words. The 59-year-old said that Gautam Gambhir does not know how to talk, Rohit or Agarkar should be sent in his place for this job. Sanjay Manjrekar raised questions on Gautam Gambhir immediately after his press conference. Manjrekar tweeted and wrote, ‘Saw the press conference of Gautam Gambhir. It would be a wise decision for BCCI to keep Gautam Gambhir away from such duties. Let them work behind the scenes only, he (Gambhir) neither has the right words nor the right manners to talk to them. Rohit and Agarkar are right to talk to the media. Just watched Gambhir in the press conference. May be wise for @BCCI to keep him away from such duties, let him work behind the scenes. He does not have the right demeanor nor the words when interacting with them. Rohit & Agarkar, much better guys to front up for the media. — Sanjay Manjrekar (@sanjaymanjrekar) November 11, 2024 The way Sanjay Manjrekar has openly raised questions on Gautam Gambhir, there will definitely be controversy on social media. Manjrekar often talks like this on social media. Earlier, he had also given controversial statements on Ravindra Jadeja. Now he has criticized Gautam Gambhir. Gautam Gambhir is currently on target because under his coaching, Team India lost the Test series 0-3 at its own home.
IND vs NZ: Dinesh Karthik spoke big about Gautam Gambhir’s strategy in the Bengaluru Test, know what he said?
In this test match, India’s first innings was reduced to just 46 runs. Dinesh Karthik and Gautam Gambhir (Image Credit- Twitter In the absence of Shubman Gill, India had to make some changes in its batting order in the ongoing first Test against New Zealand at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. In the match, it was decided to send experienced batsman Virat Kohli at number 3 and Sarfaraz Khan, who replaced Gill, at number 4. However, this strategy of captain Rohit Sharma and head coach Gautam Gambhir could not show anything special. Kohli was out without scoring any runs in 9 balls in the first innings of the Bengaluru Test match. On the other hand, former wicketkeeper batsman and Dinesh Karthik, who played with Kohli in RCB, has given a big statement regarding this decision of the Indian management. Dinesh Karthik gave a big statement Let us tell you that Dinesh Karthik was quoted as saying by Cricbuzz – I am not defending Virat Kohli, he has the temperament and technique like some of the great batsmen who have played so far. If I make any changes it is because I am confident that that player will perform well there, not because I want to save Virat Kohli. He plays at number 4 in Tests. He opens 3 times in every ODI and T20 match. Now you can say the ball is different, it is not rotating as much, 100 per cent, where is the best position for Virat Kohli in Test cricket, he is just number four. Virat Kohli is also commendable. He could have easily said, no, let me bat at number four, because you can keep KL Rahul or Sarfaraz Khan at number three. The coach would have said, OK, I will manage that conversation. The fact that he went to bat at number 3 shows his (serious) mindset.
Gautam Gambhir’s childhood coach made a big statement, said- he used to cry after losing matches
Gautam Gambhir has recently become the new head coach of the Indian cricket team Gautam Gambhir’s childhood coach Sanjay Bhardwaj (Source: x) Former Indian cricket team opener Gautam Gambhir’s childhood coach Sanjay Bhardwaj has recently made a big statement. Sanjay has said about his former student that he has had the hunger and passion to succeed right from the beginning. Also, Sanjay has said that people may think from a distance that he is arrogant and behaves badly with the players, but it is not so. Because of always winning the game, he always behaves like a 12-year-old boy. Sanjay Bhardwaj gave a big statement about Gautam Gambhir Let us tell you that recently on the YouTube channel of Manjot Kalra, who was a member of the Under 19 World Cup 2018 winning Indian team, Sanjay Bhardwaj said – Even today he is like an innocent child. There is nothing wrong in him. He is like a 12-year-old child, people think that he is arrogant, but his behavior is like this because of winning. I used to ask him to play matches after the nets and he used to cry after losing the match. Even at that time he did not like to lose. A person with a true personality will obviously be with Gambhir. Bhardwaj further said about Gambhir’s coaching- Gautam Gambhir will not go after the technical aspects, because technical improvement is not needed at that level. You are there because you are technically very good. What Gambhir will work on is the tactical aspect. Gambhir’s job will be to boost the morale and instill confidence in the player who is perhaps not sure of himself. On the other hand, if we talk about Gambhir’s coaching tenure with Team India, out of five matches, the Indian team has won three, one match was tied and the Team India had to face defeat in one match.

Sourav Ganguly defended Gautam Gambhir’s statement Let us tell you that in a recent discussion with Revzsports, Ganguly said – I would just say that let him be. I saw some criticism on what he said in the press conference. He (Gambhir) is like that, let him remain like that. When he won the IPL, it was just like that, you were rooting for him. Just because he has lost three Test matches and one ODI series, the straight thing has not been viewed well. But that’s just the way it is. Ganguly further said- Ever since I have watched cricket, Australians have been difficult for you. He has played his cricket like this, be it (Steve) Waugh, Ponting or (Matthew) Hayden. Therefore, there is nothing wrong in what Gambhir has said. That’s just the way he is, and he fights, he competes. So let’s give him a chance. He has been in coaching only for two-three months and you are passing judgment on him.
