IND vs ENG: Shameful defeat at home against New Zealand. The dream of winning the Border-Gavaskar Trophy for the third time was shattered on Australian soil. When Team India’s report card was made after these two series, the biggest culprit was held to be the new head coach Gautam Gambhir. Some raised questions on Gambhir’s strategy, while many cricket experts advised Gambhir to resign. There were also reports that the selectors had a ‘serious’ conversation with Gautam. Even though the Indian team has not been able to achieve any special position under Gambhir’s supervision in Tests, in T-20 Internationals, every move of Gautam fits perfectly.
On Gambhir’s insistence, Suryakumar Yadav was given the captaincy of T20 International. In the Gambhir era, Team India defeated Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, South Africa, and now England in the shortest format of cricket. Due to Gautam’s attacking approach, the Indian team is continuously waving the flag of victory in T20. Under Gambhir’s rule, Team India has achieved a position in this format, which no other team in the world has been able to reach.
World Record Made Under Gambhir
Actually, the batsmen of the Indian team have been setting a lot of records in T-20 International these days. Out of the last 10 matches played under the captaincy of Surya, 3 times the Indian batsmen have scored a total of more than 240 runs, which is also a new world record. No team in the world has been able to achieve this feat in fast cricket till date. The Indian team has achieved this feat during the tenure of head coach Gautam Gambhir.

Gambhir has always been known for his attacking approach. After taking over the responsibility of the head coach, Gambhir’s approach has been clearly visible in the game of the Indian team. This is the reason why Indian players are playing fearless cricket on the field, which has benefited them a lot so far.
A Befitting Reply To Critics
After the humiliating defeat in Australia, Gautam Gambhir was the target of critics. Many questions were being raised about Gambhir’s strategy. Cricket pundits said that Team India was being ruined under Gautam’s supervision. However, Gambhir gave a befitting reply to his critics by winning 4-1 in the five-match T20 series against England. Now if the Indian team can continue this form in the ODI series and Champions Trophy as well, then the questions being raised on coach Gambhir’s ability will also come to an end.
