New Delhi: As an old old saying goes into cricket, “Batsmen win the game, but bowlers win the tournament to you.” Sadly, Team India’s head coach Gautam Gambhir does not believe this principle when it comes to testing cricket.Go beyond the border with our YouTube channel. Subscribe now!Since he played the head coach of Team India, the results are a mixed bag. In T20Is, India is a world champion, and seeing the depth of talent with Jasprit Bumrah, he is going to dominate world cricket for a while. The future of one-day cricket is in a fix, but India won the 2024 Champions Trophy under Gayam, with two best format-Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli-one-one-one-dimensional spin attack. In two years, even without these two stallwarts, this Indian cricket team can win the next World Cup in South Africa and put that ghost behind them on 19 November.

Gautam Gambhir’s fiery press conference: India’s head coach lost its cool every time

The predecessor of Gambhir, Rahul Dravid, has called India’s white balls talented in “scary”, and is correct because it is a well -oil system that will produce results.Of course, the most challenging work for any coach and captain is Test cricket, the format that possibly symbolizes sports. Test cricket tests the character of individuals, and you need a strategy, and most importantly you need bowlers who can take 20 wickets and win you the match. India has come close to winning the World Test Championship (WTC) twice, only second place.

Should Kuldeep Yadav have been included in the playing XI during the recent series against England?

Under Gautam Gambhir, India has played 15 Test matches, won five and lost eight, including a shameful series necklace for New Zealand, which is their first in 12 years. His red ball strategy has raised eyebrows; His rigor to prioritize the depth of batting on balance, and his decision to put Kuldeep Yadav on the bench gave India a golden opportunity to bury Bazballers once and for all. India managed to attract the series for an enthusiastic performance supported by Mohammad Sirj’s extraordinary skills, but should have defeated toothless England.In the Delhi Cricket Circuit, there is a famous line about Gautam Gambhir: “If he likes you, he will go beyond that you are in XI to make sure, and if he does not, you will not be near the complex of Arun Jaitley Stadium.” Gambhir has taken a proper part of controversies since his sports days, and he is still abrasive as a coach. “You are just a groundman,” he pointed to Surrey Groundsman Lee Fortis in an argument. This is equal to Delhi’s slang like “What is your position? (What is your situation?)”Returning into cricket, Gambhir’s strategy in the recently concluded Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy had a lot of flaws. Most of the flat England deck, the wrist-spinner Kuldeep Yadav, who swams England at home on the same pitches with 19 wickets in four tests, was carrying the drink. The reason for this was that the management wanted the depth of batting. The top five of the series were three Indians in the five major run-songs; Harry Brook managed to score two runs for Rishabh Pants as Indian wicketkeeper -mer missed oval test due to injury.

Is Kuldeep a complete battle with the bat?No, the coach is serious, he is not. He is not attractive, but he knows how to pay the price on his wicket. Remember his 131 balls vigilance in Ranchi, where he scored 28 runs and scored a 76 -run stand for the eighth wicket with Dhruv Jurlel? India eventually won the match. In Dharmasala again, he scored 30. A few years ago, on a dice chatogram pitch, he faced 114 balls for his 40, and his all-round display earned him the Player of the Match award.Forget Kuldeep, what was the matter of sending the sky deep as a night watchman at Lord’s, when you were a skilled lower order batsman in Washington Sundar, which was fresh with his beautiful magic? When Ravindra Jadeja was working hard to strike in the fourth innings, India could use the Lasty Blow of Akash Deep.Anishul Kamboj was called as an injury replacement for Arshdeep Singh and was given a Test debut in Old Trafford, perhaps the most flat pitch of the series. He looked at everyone in the sea, and the argument was that they wanted her for solid circumstances. Ankul or even the most suitable place for Arshdeep was on the spicy oval pitch, but they were carrying the drinks.India’s No. 3 has been reduced to the game of music chairs. Sai Reformson played the first Test but was dropped in Edgbaston. Karun Nair, who was India’s nominated number 6 in Headingley, got a chance and played the next two Tests, but was later dropped in Old Trafford. Coach Gambhir’s argument was that no one has fallen in his favor, he is just looking for good balance. Karun returned to the oval as Pant was out and India was looking to strengthen the batting, and Washington Sundar, who no. Batting at 6, number 8 in the fourth Test.Yes, India managed to steal a series draw against England, but they should have won it, and coach Gambhir needs to reflect his philosophy.
