The Indian cricket team lost the series 0-2 on the Ireland tour, after which head coach Gautam Gambhir and captain Shreyas Iyer are the target of criticism. Fans are surrounding him for not feeding Vaibhav Suryavanshi, removing Suryakumar from captaincy and many other reasons. Meanwhile, a big statement has come from former cricketer and current commentator Sanjay Manjrekar. He has told the mistake which Team India is currently making.
Sanjay Manjrekar took the name of Gautam Gambhir and told what mistakes the Indian team is currently making under his coaching. He also talked about the failure of Indian batsmen on difficult pitches and talked about bringing players like Shubman Gill back into the T20 team.
too many all-rounders
According to Sanjay Manjrekar, there are too many all-rounders in the Indian team, whereas we need a pure middle order batsman. He wrote on
It was too little earlier…under Gambhir, it’s too many. The ‘all rounders’. India needs a PURE middle order batter, pronto!

In the discussion with the panel after the match, Sanjay Manjrekar said, “Shubman Gill has become a T20 batsman, his IPL was also excellent. I am not talking about captaincy, but players like him should be gradually brought back in T20 because they play better in challenging conditions. As we have seen in England and foreign tours.”
