Gautam Gambhir has not been the best Indian coach, in terms of the results. There have been a couple of whitewashes in Tests at home, and the latest disaster was the ODI series loss to NZ. But then BCCI vice-president Rajeev Shukla has firmly defended the coach, and said that the former openers is still in control of the team, and is a popular figure among the teammates, despite criticism.
‘Gautam Gambhir in Control of Team’
Speaking to ANI, Shukla also mentioned that, barring the Tests, the results have been decent in white-ball cricket. “Gautam Gambhir is still in control of the team. He is a coach. He is doing his work in that. Yes, why not? (on if he is a popular coach within the team) If we leave the Test match, we are winning the rest of the series in ODIs and T20Is.”
Criticism Only on Social Media
He added, that the criticism on social media should not be taken seriously. “These days on social media, everyone is attacked. Nobody is spared. You lose a match and get criticised. You must also remember that when Sachin Tendulkar would fail during his playing days, he would also face flak from the media, even if he failed in one series. His past contributions and records were not highlighted. He was called ‘Endulkar’ at one point. If this country did not spare Sachin, then what are these other players?”
Talking about his Test returns, Gambhir managed to win the series against Bangladesh at home, followed by a 0-3 loss at the hands of New Zealand. Post that India lost 1-3 in Australia, beat West Indies 2-0, and now, against South Africa, lost 0-2. Those are not the kind of results one had expected from the team, who had created multiple records of not losing a Test series at home since 2012-2013.
