Gambhir’s score is 3-2 It is worth noting that Gautam Gambhir’s tenure as head coach of the Indian team started with a 3-0 win against Sri Lanka in the T20 series. Immediately after that, India faced their first defeat in the ODI series against Sri Lanka. However, things got back on track soon, and India won the Test series 2-0 and the T20 series 3-0 against Bangladesh.
Team India failed in every department However, what has happened is beyond anyone’s imagination. The Indian team, which had won 18 consecutive series, was defeated 3-0 by New Zealand at home. This was without star player Kane Williamson, who did not play in any Test. In this series, every department of Team India, from batting to bowling, was found wanting.
Gambhir’s strange decisions! According to reports, some decisions taken by Gautam Gambhir on the turning track of Mumbai did not go down well with some people in the BCCI. Especially when New Zealand had already won the series by defeating India in Pune. Gambhir’s decisions were surprising. Let’s take a look at some of his strange decisions-
– Fielding two fast bowlers in both Pune and Mumbai despite dry pitches. – Sending Mohammad Siraj as nightwatchman in place of Sarfaraz Khan in the third Test. – Promoting Ravindra Jadeja above Sarfaraz Khan for the left-right combination.
– Washington Sundar could have been promoted at least once above Ravichandran Ashwin, but he was sent in at number nine three times. Sundar scored 89 runs at an average of 44.5, while Ashwin scored 51 runs at an average of 8.5 in one less Test.
– Gambhir has seen Harshit closely in the Kolkata Knight Riders and has faith in him, but why wasn’t he sent to Australia A for the India A tour?
