Gautam Gambhir Criticized for Deviating from Rahul Dravid's Pitch Strategy in 0-3 Loss: Report

Gautam Gambhir Criticized for Deviating from Rahul Dravid's Pitch Strategy in 0-3 Loss: Report

The Indian cricket team has come under fire following a 0-3 defeat to New Zealand in the recent Test series. Led by Rohit Sharma, the team was thoroughly outplayed by the visitors, putting head coach Gautam Gambhir in a difficult position. Reports indicate that the BCCI will review the series loss, with a focus on the pitch conditions in Pune and Mumbai. Despite previous decisions to avoid extreme spinning tracks under Rahul Dravid's coaching, Gambhir allegedly reverted to this tactic against resistance from some team members, resulting in losses in both matches.

According to Times of India, a source stated, "The return to rank turners surprised some board members. The new coaching staff under Gautam Gambhir will be questioned about their strategic direction for the team."

Gautam Gambhir, who took over as head coach just three months ago, is facing mounting pressure following unprecedented defeats against Sri Lanka and New Zealand. Despite high expectations and involvement in selection decisions for the Australia tour, Gambhir's early performance has raised concerns.

Unless significant improvements are made in the upcoming matches in Australia, Gambhir's autonomy in team selection may be at risk.
