After India's recent poor performance in Test cricket, head coach Gautam Gambhir is facing strong criticism, while former head coach Ravi Shastri has given a clear response. Questions were raised about Gambhir after losing the series at home against South Africa. Under his guidance, India lost 10 out of 18 Test matches, increasing dissatisfaction. Speaking on a podcast about all this, Shastri stated that it is wrong to hold one person responsible, and players also need to take responsibility.
Shastri said that when defeated, it is easy to point fingers at the coach, but the players in the team should also accept their own mistakes. They should have the feeling that they have been defeated and need to improve in the next match. According to him, nothing will change by placing the responsibility on just one person. Meanwhile, he mentioned Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, saying that these two are big names in one-day cricket and it is not right to mess with them.
In the same conversation, Ravi Shastri indirectly warned Gambhir that if the results do not favor the team, the time may come to remove the head coach from the position. If poor performance continues, anyone can be removed, and therefore patience and proper management become extremely important. He also mentioned that maintaining constant communication with the team and keeping the players motivated is the main job of the coach.
In the growing atmosphere of dissatisfaction against Gambhir, Shastri's statement has come into special discussion. Due to India's disappointing performance in recent series, the possibility of changing the coach is being expressed. Therefore, everyone's attention is on how Team India responds in the upcoming matches and how Gambhir steers the team out of this pressure.
