DTVHINDIGautam 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.
“You are not a foreign coach who…” Ashish Nehra got angry at Gautam Gambhir! Raised questions about Rohit-Kohli
Gambhir’s experiment, which included changing the Indian batting order twice and trying out a left-right combination, has been criticised. Gautam Gambhir and Ashish Nehra Source The Indian team has suffered a setback in the ODI series between India and Sri Lanka. While the first ODI was tied, the Indian team lost to Sri Lanka by 32 runs in the second ODI. Due to this, the Indian team is forced to level the series by winning the last ODI match. The reason for this is believed to be the poor results of coach Gautam Gambhir. Gambhir’s experiments, which claimed to try a left-right combination with two changes in the Indian batting order, have been criticized. Due to this, some opinions have also been raised that the Indian team has no chance of winning the Champions Trophy series. Ashish Nehra raised questions on Gautam Gambhir’s coaching Ashish Nehra, a former teammate of captain Rohit Sharma and head coach Gautam Gambhir, was asked the same question after Sri Lanka took a crucial 1-0 lead. He did not give a direct answer but criticised Gambhir for focusing on Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma while he could have tried new players in the series. According to the report, the senior batsmen made themselves available for the series after Gambhir’s request. India’s current Sri Lanka tour is Gambhir’s first tour as India’s head coach, and he wanted to spend time with Kohli and Rohit to understand the team. Nehra said Gambhir should have waited as he was not new to the two star players, and instead should have tried out other players and tested India’s bench strength. Ashish Nehra said on Sony Sports- “India’s next series is after 2-3 months, which is a rare thing for us. So for players like Rohit and Kohli…I think there was a better chance to give opportunities to other players during this series. I know Gambhir is the new coach and he wants to spend some time with the experienced players, but it’s not like he doesn’t know both of them.” “He is not a foreign coach who wants to get his equation right with Kohli and Rohit. So it was a good opportunity for him to try out new players and Rohit and Kohli could play when the domestic season starts. I am not saying it is the wrong way, but it could have been one of the strategies in this series.” Riyan Parag, Rishabh Pant, Harshit Rana and Khaleel Ahmed have not played in either of the two ODIs and it will be interesting to see if India make changes to their playing XI for the third and final ODI. Usually, teams try out their bench strength after sealing the series with an unassailable lead.
