Gautam Gambhir News / Keep Gambhir away from press conferences, Manjrekar's controversial statement

Gautam Gambhir News: Team India's head coach Gautam Gambhir was seen talking to the media before leaving for Australia tour. During this, Gambhir shared many important things about Team India's preparation, players' thinking, captain Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and KL Rahul's form. But soon after his press conference, former Team India cricketer and famous commentator Sanjay Manjrekar started a new debate by tweeting. Manjrekar tweeted and questioned Gambhir's way of talking to the media and even said that Rohit Sharma or selector Ajit Agarkar should have been sent in his place.

Sanjay Manjrekar's controversial tweet

Soon after Gautam Gambhir's press conference, Sanjay Manjrekar tweeted, "Saw Gautam Gambhir's press conference. I think BCCI should keep him away from such media duties and allow him to work behind the scenes. He neither has the right words nor the manners to talk properly. Only Rohit Sharma or Ajit Agarkar are suitable to talk to the media." Controversy escalates after Manjrekar's comment

After this tweet by Manjrekar, the controversy is expected to increase. Sanjay Manjrekar has been openly commenting on cricketers on many occasions in the past, which has led to controversy. He had earlier made sharp comments about Ravindra Jadeja, after which he was criticized in the cricket world. This time his target is Gautam Gambhir, under whose coaching India recently suffered a crushing 0-3 defeat in the home Test series against New Zealand.

Gambhir's coaching and the challenge ahead

The upcoming Border-Gavaskar series against Australia is an important occasion for Gautam Gambhir. If Team India is unable to win this series, it may have a side-effect on Gambhir's coaching career. Gambhir's criticism has increased after the disappointing performance in the home series, and the results of the Australia tour can prove to be important for his future.

What are cricket experts saying?

Cricket experts believe that it is inappropriate for Sanjay Manjrekar to publicly criticize Gambhir. A cricket expert said, "Every coach has his own method, and Gambhir has been an experienced player. It is not right to blame the coach alone for the team's performance. Gambhir should be given a chance to lead the team based on his strategies."

Gambhir's confidence despite increasing pressure

Gautam Gambhir's confidence before the Australia tour is also worth seeing. He said, "I am trying my best to fully develop the team's potential. We know that the series against Australia is going to be tough, but I have full faith in my team." Gambhir also said that he will perform with full strength along with the team players regardless of any criticism.

What will be the outcome of the controversy between Gambhir and Manjrekar?

Manjrekar's criticism has once again raised questions on Team India's coaching team. Cricket fans are giving their reactions on social media regarding this controversy. Now it remains to be seen how the BCCI handles this controversy and how Gautam Gambhir fulfills his coaching responsibility.

Conclusion

This controversy can bring a new twist for Team India before the important series against Australia. Sanjay Manjrekar's comments have increased the pressure on Gambhir, but now all eyes will be on how Gambhir faces this challenge.

Just watched Gambhir in the press conference.
May be wise for @BCCI to keep him away from such duties, let him work behind the scenes. He does not have the right demeanour nor the words when interacting with them. Rohit & Agarkar, much better guys to front up for the media.
