If it does good, it credits him. If it does not do well, it should keep his hands up and say, ‘We made a mistake’. ,

Karthik reduced Captain Shubman Gill by conviction, showing that the serious force appears to be the primary force behind the decisions of the team.“He [Gambhir] I think the team has controlled. He is the inspiring power of this team with Shubman, “he commented.” One thing I think he can do is serious about taking about 20 wickets, as he feels deep in batting, is important. ,

He said that when Gambhir has a strong track record in white ball formats, he is still looking for his feet in the red ball field.“He is a great white ball coach and the results are to see us. But, in Test cricket, he is also learning on a job.”Under the tenure of Gambhir so far, India has faced 0-3 whitewash at New Zealand’s home-the first in their testing history-and a loss of 1-3 in Australia 2024–25 border-Gavaskar Trophy. He also failed to reach the World Test Championship final for the first time.Karthik also weighed Jaspreet Bumrah’s charge management and dismissed the stories that India won more without him.

“You have to look at it from the perspective of Jaspreet Bumrah. I think, such a victory, the way the series has been removed, the way the young team has fought, it will really help him in his career. I believe that Jasprit Bumrah will be very proud of this young bowling attack.”“It is not his fault when he does not play when he wins the statue of India. He is so impressive that others become yellow.
