The recent 0-3 drubbing by New Zealand has exposed deep-seated issues within the Indian cricket team. A news report revealing a six-hour marathon meeting between BCCI officials, skipper Rohit Sharma, and head coach Gautam Gambhir hints at a rift brewing within the team.

According to sources, the meeting focused on contentious issues such as Gambhir’s coaching style, which is significantly different from his predecessor Rahul Dravid, and the selection of rank turners for the Mumbai Test. The decision to rest pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah and the inclusion of untested players like Nitish Reddy and Harshit Rana also came under scrutiny.

These developments raise disturbing questions about the team’s unity and cohesion. Is the Indian cricket team fragmented, with players and coaches pulling in different directions? Have the recent defeats exposed underlying tensions between the old guard and the new?

Gambhir’s coaching approach, praised for its aggressiveness, now faces criticism for being at odds with the team’s traditional strategies. The players’ struggles to adjust to his methods have sparked concerns about the team’s preparedness for the upcoming Australia tour.

The BCCI’s intervention, though well-intentioned, may have inadvertently added fuel to the fire. By questioning team management decisions, the board has created an atmosphere of uncertainty, potentially undermining Gambhir’s authority.

As India embarks on a crucial tour of Australia, the team’s internal dynamics will be under intense scrutiny. Can the players put aside their differences and unite behind Gambhir’s vision? Or will the rifts tear the team apart?

Only time will tell, but one thing is certain: India’s cricket fans deserve better than a team torn apart by internal conflicts.
