Head coach Gautam Gambhir is furious at former Indian cricket team selector and veteran player Kris Srikkanth. Gambhir says that it is shameful to target a 23-year-old budding cricketer. In fact, a few days ago, Kris Srikkanth, through his YouTube channel, had raised questions on the decision of taking Harshit Rana on Australian tour. He said that Harshit Rana is in the team only because he is Gambhir’s ‘favourite player’. The video clip of this statement of Srikant also went viral.

Gautam Gambhir got angry

On the other hand, Gautam Gambhir said in the press conference after the conclusion of the India vs West Indies second Test, “It is all shameful that you are targeting a 23-year-old player for running your YouTube channel. Harshit’s father is not a former chairman, a former cricketer or an NRI. He has played cricket on his own merit and will do so in the future also. If you talk like this about a 23-year-old player on social media, what effect will it have on his mind?”

If your child…

Gautam Gambhir did not stop here. Taking a direct aim at Kris Srikkanth, he said, “If your child starts playing cricket, imagine how you would feel if he is abused. He is a 23-year-old child, not a 33-year-old. Criticize me, I can tolerate it but doing this to a 23-year-old boy is unacceptable.”

What did Kris Srikkanth say?

Chris Srikkanth had raised questions on the selection process of Team India and said, “You do not select many players who perform well, but bring in the team those who do not do well. The biggest example of this is Harshit Rana, who helps Gautam Gambhir and hence is in the team.”

After the T20 World Cup 2024, Gautam Gambhir became the head coach of the Indian cricket team. After his coach, Team India has done well in white ball cricket, but the Indian team has been seen struggling in Test matches. After his coach, India has lost against Australia, New Zealand, while now Team India is trailing 1-2 in the series against England. Now Harbhajan Singh has given such a advice, due to which Gautam Gambhir may have to give up coaching.

During the talks with India Today, Harbhajan Singh said that it would not be wrong to consider giving separate coaches to India’s white ball and red ball team, because the teams are different in these formats. Bhajji believes that workloads can be reduced slightly from different coaches in different formats.

Harbhajan Singh said, “I think different coaches can be appointed, there is nothing wrong in this. You have different teams for different formats. If we can do so, this will be the right decision. It will reduce the workload for everyone including coaches.”

India’s legendary spinner believes that a coach needs time to prepare before the series, even if the match is being played in any format. Let us know that India has never implemented ‘Spilate Coaching’, but in the recent past, VVS Laxman has been seen taking charge of coaching. This statement of Harbhajan is giving such a hint that if it is implemented, Gambhir will have to withdraw from the post of coach from at least one format.
