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.
Shivam Dubey’s bat started rusting as soon as his name came in T20 World Cup team, statistics are testifying
Shivam Dubey has been able to score a total of 46 runs in the last three innings. Shivam Dube (Photo Source: IPL Official Website) When IPL 2024 started, Shivam Dubey performed so well with his bat that seeing him, he got a place in the T20 World Cup team. He looked in excellent form in the first few matches and was continuously playing match-winning innings for the team. Seeing his performance, his place in the playing XI of the T20 World Cup was also considered confirmed. But ever since the T20 World Cup team was selected, Dubey’s performance has declined so much that looking at him, it seems as if now even the selectors are regretting which player they selected in the team. Now you may also be wondering why we are saying this, so let us explain to you through statistics. Since the team selection, it seems as if his bat has become angry with him. Shivam Dubey’s performance before and after being selected for the T20 World Cup. In fact, until Shivam Dubey was selected in the T20 World Cup team, left-handed batsman Dubey’s average in IPL 2024 was 58.3 and strike rate was 172.4. He was seen unraveling the threads of spinners and pacers. It was for this reason that he was selected, but since his selection his bat has become silent. There has been a terrible decline in Shivam Dubey’s strike rate and average. Since his selection in the T20 World Cup team, Dubey has played five matches, in two innings of which he could not open the account, while in the next three innings he could not score 30 plus runs even once. He could score a total of 46 runs in the last three innings. In this way, his average has come down to 9.2 after the T20 World Cup selection, which was more than 58 earlier. At the same time, the strike rate has remained at 112.2. These figures of his are a matter of concern for Team India. Let us tell you that about left-handed batsman Shivam Dubey, it was being said that he will be selected in the playing eleven of T-20 World Cup 2024 under any circumstances. But now it seems that Shivam Dubey may not have to sit on the bench.
