AUS series is the last chance for Gambhir, if he loses then BCCI can take this action
BCCI conducted a detailed review on Team India’s 0-3 defeat against New Zealand. Gautam Gambhir (Image Credit- Twitter X) There is turmoil in Team India after the embarrassing 0-3 defeat against New Zealand. Along with the players, now the entire management of head coach Gautam Gambhir is under question, he now has to leave for Australia for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy with the Indian team. Meanwhile, a big news has come out, after hearing which the fans may get another big shock. According to Dainik Jagran’s report, Australia tour could be Gambhir’s last chance to prove himself. If the performance of the Indian team is not good there then BCCI can take strict action against them. He may have to lose his coaching post in one of the formats. Indian team management can appoint different coaches for different formats Let us tell you that after the T-20 World Cup 2024, the tenure of former head Rahul Dravid ended. After that Gautam Gambhir was appointed the head coach of Team India. Team India’s performance has not been that good since Gambhir became the coach. Under him, Team India lost the ODI series against Sri Lanka. Now the Kiwi team came home and made a clean sweep of Team India in the test. In such a situation, BCCI has now started considering appointing separate coaches in both the formats. Dainik Jagran has said in its report quoting BCCI sources that the board cannot change its decision and remove Gambhir. But different coaches can be appointed in red and white ball formats. However, this decision depends on India’s tour to Australia. If the Indian team loses badly in Australia, then the command of Gambhir Test team can be taken away and handed over to National Cricket Academy head VVS Laxman. He will have the responsibility of ODI and T20 team. Let us tell you that Laxman is currently on South Africa tour with the Indian T20 team. Even before this he had gone on Zimbabwe tour with the T20 team.
