Gautam Gambhir: Australia defeated India by 6 wickets after the Sydney Test. With this, India lost the series 3-1 and the dream of playing the final of WTC 2025 was also shattered. India made a lot of mistakes in this series. Due to this, it had to suffer this result. If the batsmen had given their best like the bowlers, then the result of this series could have tilted towards India. This is the reason that when head coach Gautam Gambhir came for the press conference, he lost his temper and blamed these players for the defeat.
After the Sydney defeat, Gautam Gambhir listed the reasons for the defeat
In this 5 match test series, India gave a tough fight to Australia on the strength of its bowlers. But the Indian batsmen were completely disappointed. When head coach Gautam Gambhir came for the press conference after the defeat, he answered the tough questions boldly and without any hesitation. When he was asked in the press conference what went wrong that led to the defeat and what could have been done. On this, Gambhir said
“Our performance in this series was not good, but there were many things that were positive for the team. We had momentum, we had taken the lead and the batsmen had to score runs. But that did not happen and we could not do it and that is where we lost.”
The young players performed well
On one hand, players like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and Shubman Gill were disappointed, while on the other hand, the young players playing the first innings of the Border Gavaskar Trophy in Australia left a deep impression with their bats. Be it Yashasvi Jaiswal or Nitish Kumar Reddy, both the players faced the Kangaroo bowlers with courage and batted against them. Praising this, Gautam Gambhir said during the press conference
“Especially some young players who were playing for the first time on the Australia tour impressed a lot. Yashasvi and Nitish Reddy played well on this tour. This was the first tour for them and I hope that both of them will benefit from this experience for the team in the future.”
