Indian team head coach
gautam gambhir is currently under a lot of pressure. The defeat in the first Test match against
england has put more pressure on
gautam gambhir than any other player in the
indian team. Because after
gautam gambhir was appointed as the head coach, he was given more freedom. From deciding who the captain of the team is according to his wishes to deciding the players of the team, he has been given all the power. It is also said that
rohit sharma and
virat kohli have retired from Test matches due to his indirect pressure. In this situation, the responsibility of leading the
indian Test team was greater for him.
gautam Gambhir's role in appointing Shubman Gill as the new captain and making the
indian team play in the
england Test series was very big. If so, he himself should be responsible for the defeat. The worst thing about this is that the
indian team has won only one of the last nine Test matches.
After
gautam gambhir took over as coach, they have won only three of the 11 Test matches they have played. If we exclude the two wins against Bangladesh, then they have won only one of the nine matches. These defeats have come against leading teams New Zealand, Australia, and England. The
indian team has only got one consolation win against the Australian team. This is considered the worst situation in the
history of
indian Tests. Before this, the
indian team had lost seven Test matches in a row between 1967 and 1968. But the
indian team at that time did not have much
cricket experience. It is noteworthy that the facilities that are available now were not there then. Also, all the cricketers of that time played
cricket for their livelihood by doing other jobs. But today the situation is not like that.
indian cricket is considered the leading
cricket board in the world.
indian players are the highest-paid players in the world.
Whatever new facility or
technology comes into
cricket, it is immediately put into practice in India. Many of the players who are not in the
indian team and are substitutes and only play in the Ranji Trophy are very talented. It is in such a situation that the
indian team has won only one of the 9 Test matches it has played. This is what has put pressure on
gautam Gambhir. If the
indian team loses the
england Test series, it will definitely be very difficult for
gautam gambhir to escape from his position.
