Gautam Gambhir came under the scanner
After India lost the New Zealand Test series, many questions are being raised on Gautam Gambhir . In this series, he took some such decisions, due to which the team had to face defeat. Therefore, BCCI is not happy with these strategies of Gautam Gambhir. A BCCI source said on the condition of anonymity,
“Gautam Gambhir was given authority that his predecessors Ravi Shastri and Rahul Dravid did not have. BCCI rules do not allow the coach to be a part of the selection committee meetings, but there was an exception for the selection meeting of the Australia tour. The head coach was allowed to attend it considering the importance of the tour.”

Gautam Gambhir took many big decisions
In the Mumbai Test match, Gautam Gambhir took many shocking decisions, which proved to be very costly for the team. He used fast bowler Mohammad Siraj as a night watchman. After this, Sarfaraz Khan was sent to bat at number eight in the first innings. In the second innings too, he came to bat at number six. While in the Bengaluru Test match, Sarfaraz Khan played a stormy innings of 150 runs while batting at number four.
Test will be against Australia
It is worth noting that Gautam Gambhir ‘s real test will be in the five-match Test series to be played against Australia
. India is going to play the Border Gavaskar Trophy for the first time under his leadership. However, it will not be easy for India to defeat the Kangaroo team at its home. Therefore, Rohit Sharma’s army will forget the defeat in the New Zealand Test series and work hard for the IND vs AUS Test series. Let us tell you that it is very important for Team India to win this series to get a ticket to the final of the ICC World Test Championship.
