The Indian middle-order batter, who has been dismissed multiple times in the past by short-pitched deliveries, was outfoxed by Josh Hazlewood’s clever plan. In the 14th over, the Australian pacer delivered a sharp ball that kicked up from a back-of-length area.
The dismissal added to India’s troubles as their batting order crumbled under consistent Australian pressure. Moments after Iyer’s fall, rain interrupted play, forcing the players to leave the field. During one of multiple rain breaks, Indian head coach Gautam Gambhir was spotted animatedly discussing Iyer’s dismissal with batting coach Sitanshu Kotak.
It seems that Gambhir and Kotak were discussing Iyer’s dismissal in Perth. The Indian head coach was showing the batting coach through his hands what probably went wrong with the Mumbaikar. Gambhir’s frustration was clear, especially given Iyer’s repeated issues with short-pitched bowling.

Ravi Shastri highlights the challenges Gautam Gambhir faces in imposing discipline
On the other hand, Gautam Gambhir’s start as India’s head coach has been rocky, especially in Test cricket. India suffered a shocking 0-3 home loss to New Zealand in late 2024, followed by a 1-3 defeat in Australia, putting huge pressure on him.
Former coach Ravi Shastri has highlighted the challenges Gambhir faces. Shastri said, “He (Gambhir) must've seen it is getting out of hand and put a limit to what can be done and what cannot be done.”
