Gautam Gambhir : BCCI is preparing to take back the responsibility of the test team from Gautam Gambhir after India lost the three-test match home series against New Zealand by 0-3. After 24 years, the Indian team has been whitewashed in a test series on home soil. Team India lost a three-match test series at home for the first time by 0-3. Team India's streak of winning 18 consecutive test series on home soil for the last 12 years came to an end when Gambhir was the coach. In such a situation, BCCI has made up its mind to take a tough decision.
Gambhir will be stripped of responsibility for the Test team.
According to MyKhel's report, BCCI will keep Gautam Gambhir as the head coach of the team only for white ball cricket. But VVS Laxman can be made the head coach of the team for Test cricket. Gambhir has been given time till the Border Gavaskar Trophy to prove his ability in Test cricket. If the Indian team fails to win the Border Gavaskar Trophy, then Gambhir will have to bear the brunt of it and the post of Test team coach will go out of his hands.
Indian batsmen were defeated by spin, BCCI is upset
Many reports have said that spin-friendly wickets were prepared for the Test series against New Zealand on the instructions of coach Gautam Gambhir. Indian batsmen were seen struggling on the same pitches. Gambhir is being blamed for poor coaching and BCCI is very serious about this issue after the team's embarrassing defeat.
If India loses in Australia, Laxman will become the coach of the Test team.
According to BCCI sources, if Gautam Gambhir fails to make the Indian team win the Test series on the Australia tour, then BCCI's Center of Excellence head VVS Laxman will be made the head coach of the Test team. Gautam Gambhir will continue to handle the responsibility of the ODI and T20 teams. When the main coaching staff is given rest, Laxman takes over the responsibility of the team's head coach in between. Laxman is the coach for the 4-match T20 series against South Africa. In such a situation, BCCI will not delay in announcing his coronation. Which will prove to be a big blow for Gambhir.
