- Indian coach Gautam Gambhir is being accused of giving more preference to one player. The special thing is that this player has scored runs at an average of 14.
Gautam Gambhir: Team India has to play a four-match T20 series against South Africa. The Indian team has reached South Africa for this series. Meanwhile, Indian coach Gautam Gambhir is being accused of giving more preference to a player. The surprising thing is that this player has scored runs at an average of 14. But despite this, Gambhir and the selectors are kind to him. Who is this player, let’s find out?
Gautam Gambhir is more kind to this player
Everyone knows that every captain and coach has a favorite player. But he is a favorite only when that player has very good talent. For example, Sanju Samson is a player who is rich in talent. But he has not got many opportunities.
But after becoming the coach, Gautam Gambhir gave him proper opportunities in Team India. Sanju took advantage of the opportunity and scored a century in T20. He has become the second fastest batsman to score a T20 century after Rohit Sharma. In such a situation, giving him a chance is understandable. But, giving a chance to Jitesh Sharma despite poor performance is beyond comprehension.
Gambhir is showing more trust in Jitesh Sharma
Coach Gautam Gambhir’s showing more faith in Jitesh Sharma and giving him opportunities is beyond comprehension. Because Jitesh has not shown any good performance for Team India so far. Last year, in the absence of Pant, he was given a chance in Team India for T20.
He did perform well in some matches. Apart from this, Jitesh flopped in all the matches. But despite this, he was selected in Team India against Bangladesh. Also, now he has been given a chance against South Africa. Why he is being given a chance here is beyond understanding.
Jitesh Sharma scored runs at an average of 14
Jitesh Sharma has played 9 matches for India so far and has scored just 100 runs in those matches at a poor average of 14. His best score has been 35 runs. Along with this, 11 fours and 4 sixes have come from his bat. The figures show how disappointing Jitesh has performed on the opportunities he has got.
