A glimpse of the conflict is visible in the statements of Gautam Gambhir and Indian cricket team’s batting coach Sitanshu Kotak. The Kolkata Test could not last even for 3 days, in which India lost by 30 runs. Gambhir had come in support of the pitch curator and said that Team India had demanded a similar pitch. But Sitanshu Kotak has blamed the defeat on the pitch curator of Eden Gardens.
Ahead of India vs South Africa 2nd Test, Sitanshu Kotak said, “People are saying Gautam Gambhir, Gautam Gambhir. I am saying this because I am a member of the staff and I also feel bad. This is not the way. Maybe some people are criticizing to run their agenda. Congratulations to them, but it is wrong to do so.”
Dispute between Gautam Gambhir and Sitanshu Kotak!
Sitanshu Kotak said that no one wanted such a pitch. In the last match (Kolkata), Gautam Gambhir took all the blame on the pitch. He said, “He took the blame on himself because he thought that the entire fault could not be attributed to the curators. In the last match, the condition of the pitch started deteriorating after just one day. The soil was flying after the ball fell, it was visible to everyone, no one had expected this to happen.”
Sitanshu Kotak further said, “Spin was expected, but we expected spin on the evening of the third day or later. Sometimes the weather, sometimes even the pitch curator does not want this. I am telling the truth. No one wanted this kind of pitch.”
The main reason for criticism of the Indian team is that it could not achieve the target of 124 runs on its home ground. While chasing this target, Team India collapsed for 93 runs.
