Since then, head coach Gautam Gambhir has been the target of fans on social media. Let us tell you that during the entire series, the performance of the team led by Rohit Sharma with the bat was very poor. They could never put pressure on the visiting team. Kane Williamson and Tim Southee were not with the Kiwi team, yet they whitewashed India 3-0 for the first time in a Test series in India. This was India’s second whitewash defeat under the leadership of Gautam Gambhir. Earlier, Sri Lanka had whitewashed India 3-0 in the ODI series. Therefore, questions are being raised on coach Gambhir whether he is suitable or not. Meanwhile, Rohit Sharma was seen defending coach Gambhir and said that the coaching unit is very new and it is the responsibility of the players to help them settle in well. Captain Rohit Sharma defended head coach Gautam Gambhir Rohit said in the press conference after India’s 25-run defeat in the third Test in Mumbai, they (coaching staff) have been good. He hasn’t got much time. It is the responsibility of the players to also help them get results, to ensure that we are in touch with their thought process. It is too early to judge anything right now. Rohit is still not sure about his availability for the first Test against Australia in Perth. He had informed BCCI a few months ago about the possibility of dropping the first match. Hence, India have included Abhimanyu Easwaran as a back-up opener and he is expected to partner with Yashasvi Jaiswal in Rohit’s absence. Rohit said that he is still unsure about his availability.
‘This injury will only make us better,’ Gautam Gambhir breaks his silence after losing the series to New Zealand
India has lost a Test series at home for the first time since 2012. Gautam Gambhir (Image Credit- Twitter X) India has lost a Test series at home for the first time since 2012. New Zealand defeated the host team by 8 wickets in the first test. And in the second test match, we were defeated by 113 runs. In this way, Team India has lagged behind in the series by 0-2. Now, to save his credibility, he needs to win the third Test match starting from November 1. Now Gautam Gambhir has broken his silence on the disappointing performance of the Indian team. He said that he is feeling sad about losing the series. But it is expected that the players will learn from the mistakes and perform better in the third Test to be played at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Gambhir also stressed that players should not be sad after a Test defeat, whether it is playing at home or in overseas conditions. Only that injury will make us better – Gautam Gambhir Gambhir said in the press conference before the third Test, “Obviously, it is sad. And it’s good that it’s hurting because it should make us sad. Every time you lose a game, whether at home or away, it must be sad. That hurt will only make us better. Sometimes people say that there should be no pain. But it should hurt.” He further said, “When you are playing for your country, what is wrong in being in that position? Especially for the youth, as much as it is hurting them, I am sure they will keep pushing themselves to keep getting better. Because we want to see them exactly like that. Pushing myself every day to become a better cricketer. And something special has to be done. Because if we have the results like we had in Kanpur, we can also have similar results. And take that hit and keep moving forward.” Since Gambhir became the coach, India lost the ODI series against Sri Lanka, while recently lost the Test series against the Kiwis at home. Speaking on this, Gambhir said that he never expected an easy performance in international cricket. But he wants his players to keep working hard and prepare well if the results go in their favor.
IND vs NZ: Manoj Tiwari is unhappy with the performance of Team India in the Bengaluru Test, gave a surprising statement about Rohit Sharma and Gautam Gambhir
In the first Test match played between Team India and New Zealand, the host had to face defeat. Gautam Gambhir & Rohit Sharma (Photo Source: Getty Images) In the first Test match played between Team India and New Zealand, the host had to face defeat. The players of Team India had failed to show good performance and that is why New Zealand won this match. After the end of the match, former player Manoj Tiwari has questioned the decisions of captain Rohit Sharma and head coach Gautam Gambhir. According to him, Team India did not take important decisions in the first test and that is why they had to face defeat. Manoj Tiwari told Cricbuzz, ‘Sometimes I cannot understand the decisions. There seems to be a lack of common sense. It is beyond my understanding what the coach and the captain are trying to prove. I think whenever a new coach or captain comes, he tries to prove something and takes such decisions. I don’t understand why Team India did not use Ravichandran Ashwin properly: Manoj Tiwari Former player Manoj Tiwari has also raised questions as to why experienced spinner Ravichandran Ashwin, who has taken more than 500 Test wickets, was not given the bowling during New Zealand’s second innings. Let us tell you that New Zealand needed 107 runs to win the first test. Ravichandran Ashwin came to bowl when New Zealand had scored 97 runs losing two wickets and the experienced player bowled only two overs in the second innings. Manoj Tiwari further said, ‘I knew that some spinner would get less overs but I did not think that it would be Ashwin. Ravichandran Ashwin has taken more than 500 Test wickets and when you are defending 107 runs, you need an aggressive bowler along with Jasprit Bumrah. Even good captains make mistakes because there is too much going on in your mind. There is a lot of need for a coach here but I don’t know why the mistake was made here that Ashwin was not given bowling. Another thing which was surprising was that Akash Deep was not included in the playing XI. Even good captains make mistakes because they have a lot going on in their mind. At present, Team India will have to make a strong comeback in the second test and both the coach and the captain will have to take many important decisions.
