DTVHINDI‘His honeymoon period is over’, Sunil Gavaskar said a stinging thing for Gautam Gambhir!
Sunil Gavaskar questions Abhishek Nair’s role in the team Sunil Gavaskar and Gautam Gambhir Gautam Gambhir’s debut as the head coach of the Indian cricket team has been disappointing. Earlier, after losing the ODI series against Sri Lanka, Team India lost the three-match home Test series against New Zealand 0-3. After this shameful defeat, questions are being raised on coach Gautam Gambhir. Veteran Sunil Gavaskar has also given a sharp reaction. Sunil Gavaskar even said that Gautam Gambhir’s “honeymoon period” is over as far as India’s head coach is concerned. He said that Gambhir’s mistakes can be forgiven at this point, but he needs to guide the team properly for the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. What is the role of Abhishek Nair in the team?- Sunil Gavaskar Gavaskar told India Today, Gautam Gambhir’s honeymoon period is over. We can forgive the mistakes made during this period, but now we want him to come forward and properly guide the players on the Australia tour. The veteran player questioned the role of Abhishek Nair in the team. He said, for batting…what is the role of Abhishek Nair in the team? Is he a batting coach or an assistant coach? He said, Gambhir has scored a lot more runs than these two, so if he can come forward and guide the players on how to bat in Australian conditions and what kind of approach they should adopt, then we can probably do better. Are. Let us tell you that the Indian team will tour Australia in November for a five-match Test series. The first test match will start in Perth from 22 November. After this, the upcoming matches will be played in Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney.
“He is a batsman like Viru”, why did this former cricketer say this about Rishabh Pant?
Rishabh Pant is a batsman like Veeru (Virender Sehwag) – Aakash Chopra Rishabh Pant (Photo Source: The third Test between India and New Zealand is being played at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, where at present the position of Team India looks very strong. By the end of the second day’s play, New Zealand had scored 171 runs for 9 wickets in its second innings and its total lead was 143 runs. Whereas he has only one wicket left in his hand. Earlier, India scored 263 runs after losing all the wickets in its first innings. On behalf of the team, Shubhman Gill played an inning of 90 runs, while wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant scored 60 runs in 59 balls with the help of 8 fours and 2 sixes. His innings has been highly praised by former cricketer and current commentator Akash Chopra. During a conversation on Color Cineplex, Aakash Chopra said about Rishabh Pant’s approach and his aggressive innings against Ajaz Patel, no matter how many left-arm spinners come, Rishabh Pant will keep playing like this. It would be rare for a left-arm spinner to come in front of him and not get hit. It is possible that he may not get a hit in one innings, but he will definitely get a hit in the next innings. The way he started today and the way he played, I am not surprised at all. He is a batsman like Viru- Aakash Chopra He further said that, he is a batsman like Viru (Virender Sehwag). Viru used to say that only a batsman turns an off-spinner into a bowler. He (Pant) feels that a batsman makes a left-arm spinner a bowler. If a left-arm spinner is bowling, it doesn’t matter what the pitch is like and how big the ground is, he has to hit the ball into the stands. The specialty of Rishabh Pant is that a fielder can be placed on the boundary, everyone knows that he will come forward on the track and hit a six, but he still does it and hits the balls into the stands. There are very few players, especially in Test cricket, who challenge the fielders in the deep. Veeru was the first Indian to do this and now Rishabh is at number two.

Kagiso Rabada overtook Jasprit Bumrah On the other hand, if we talk about bowling rankings, South African pacer Kagiso Rabada has snatched the first place from India’s star fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah. He has now reached the top in the men’s test bowling rankings. Rabada is performing brilliantly against Bangladesh. He recently took nine wickets in the first Test of the series.

However, despite this, coach Andre Kohli is very positive and said that there were many positive things to learn from this tour. Kohli said about the series against England, with an emerging team, a lot would have been said about its walkover. Obviously we should have performed better, but we showed a lot of fight during the series. From a batting point of view, I was quite happy with our scoring rate, pace, especially in the second Test. You don’t get great performances every day – Andre Collie He further said that, as far as the bowlers are concerned, the English conditions have greatly influenced the young attack in terms of correcting their line-length and handling crowd pressure. These were the important positives that we have learned from this series, as we now move on to the series with South Africa. Andre Collie said, “You’re not going to have great performances every day. But one thing you can really have some control over is going through your processes every day and giving yourself the best chance to perform.” The first test against South Africa will begin on August 7.
