After winning the ODI series against South Africa, head coach Gautam Gambhir himself came to the press conference, during which his aggressive form was also seen. He seemed so angry over a post by IPL team Delhi Capitals owner Parth Jindal that he advised him not to interfere with our work when we are not in your domain. But what did the co-owner of the Delhi team say? On which Gambhir got angry.

What did Gautam Gambhir say?

Indian team head coach Gautam Gambhir said in the press conference, “People also said things which have nothing to do with cricket. An IPL owner also wrote that about split coaching (different coaches in different formats), it is surprising. It is very important for people to stay in their domain, because if we do not go into anyone’s domain then they also have no right to come into our domain.”

What did Parth Jindal say about Gautam Gambhir?

Gautam Gambhir did not take the name of Delhi Capitals co-owner Parth Jindal but his statement is believed to be for him because Parth had made a post regarding split coaching after the Test series defeat against South Africa.

Parth Jindal, while posting a post after the defeat in the second Test, had written, “Not even close, a very bad defeat at home. Don’t remember the last time our team looked so weak at home! This happens when a red ball specialist is not selected. This team does not at all show the deep strength we have in the red ball format. Now is the time for India to have a specialist red ball coach for Test cricket.”

IND vs SA: The Indian cricket team’s 0-2 Test series defeat against South Africa has sparked debate across the country. After Team India’s humiliating defeat of 408 runs at Barsapara Stadium in Guwahati, questions are now being raised on the team’s support staff and selection policy. Meanwhile, Delhi Capitals co-owner Parth Jindal has given a direct message to BCCI on social media and made strict comments regarding the preparation of the team.

Parth Jindal’s strong message to BCCI

Parth Jindal, writing on X, said that this defeat shows that India needs a specialist red-ball coach for Test cricket. He said, “This kind of defeat at home… I don’t remember the last time such weakness was seen. This is what will happen when red-ball specialists are not given a chance. The real strength of the Test format is not visible in the team. India should immediately appoint a separate coach for the Tests.”

This comment of Jindal directly indicates that IPL franchise owners are also worried about the current coaching setup.

Gambhir did not blame any one player

Head coach Gautam Gambhir did not point fingers at any one player in the press conference after the defeat. However, it was clear from his words that he was very upset with captain Rishabh Pant’s “shot that pleased the gallery”.

India had started well at 95/1, but after a brilliant spell by Marco Jansson, the score reached 122/7. Meanwhile, Pant also lost his wicket by playing an unnecessary aggressive shot. Which completely turned the match towards South Africa.

Gambhir said in the press conference, “Can’t blame any player on one shot. Every player has the responsibility. We have to improve a lot in red-ball cricket – be it mentally, technically or in terms of sacrifice for the team. The most important thing is not to play for the gallery.”

Growing questions on India’s test form

The second Test series defeat at home in a year has raised a big question on India’s strength. Last year, New Zealand had defeated Team India 3-0 and now South Africa also made a clean sweep. In such a situation, the discussion has intensified whether India should now adopt a separate coaching and selection system for Test cricket?
