Players failed, not Gautam Gambhir: Sunil Gavaskar
Sunil Gavaskar was quoted as saying by India Today, “He's a coach. The coach can prepare a team. The coach can tell, you know, a guy with his experience. But it's out there in the middle that the players have to deliver. Now, to those who are asking, you know, for him to be held accountable, my question, my counter-question, is: what did you do when India won the Champions Trophy under him? What did you do when India won the Asia Cup under him?”
Amidst the heavy criticism and growing demands for sacking Gambhir, Gavaskar backed the former World Cup winner as India’s head coach across all three formats.
The legendary batter said that there’s nothing wrong with one coach leading in Tests, ODIs, and T20Is, pointing out that countries like England have Brendon McCullum doing the same.
Why blame Gautam Gambhir if you never praised him?
The legendary cricketer even argued that it is unfair to blame the coach alone for the team’s poor performance on the field when he is not given credit for the team’s success.
Gavaskar signed off by saying, “You're not prepared to give him credit. If you're not prepared to give him credit for the Champions Trophy and the Asia Cup win, then please tell me why you want to blame him for the team out there on that 22-yard not doing well. Why are you blaming him?”
