The Indian cricket team had to face another embarrassing defeat against England, in the fourth T20, England won by 9 wickets and took an unassailable lead in the series. Under the captaincy of Shreyas Iyer, Team India has lost the second consecutive series, before this the team had lost 0-2 against Ireland. Not only the captain but also the head coach Gautam Gambhir is being severely criticized, questions are being raised on his strategy.
Why the constant change?
Many former players have already warned Gautam Gambhir that it is not right to make changes after every match. Questions are being raised on the strategy of Team India’s head coach Gautam Gambhir. Prasidh Krishna and Washington Sundar were dropped after the first match against Ireland. It was not right to judge him on one match, otherwise Prince Yadav would have been bowled in the first match itself.
Prince Yadav performed brilliantly in his debut T20 against Ireland, but he was not included in the first T20 against England. Prasidh and Washington were brought in for the fourth T20 against England, with mystery spinner Varun Chakravarthy dropped. Changes after every match reflect pressure.

The player who won the World Cup was dropped
Of course, Sanju Samson did not play in both the matches against Ireland, his bat remained silent in the first match against England too but the Player of the Tournament could have been given another chance in his World Cup. Of course, there was a demand to bring Vaibhav Suryavanshi in the playing 11, but it was not right to bring him in place of Sanju Samson.
Vice-captain Tilak Verma’s bat is silent, even in the match when he is scoring some runs, the strike rate remains low. He could have been removed, but he was backed and the World Cup hero was dropped. Many former players have also criticized this decision.
Team India is not able to field 5 proper bowlers
The biggest strength of Team India is batting, but looking at the playing 11, it seems that the captain and coach do not have full confidence even in their batsmen. India wants to bat till number 8, but what about bowling. Anil Kumble has also raised questions regarding the fact that batsmen score runs and bowlers win matches, hence it is necessary to have 5 proper bowlers. There are many all-rounders in the team right now. Even in yesterday’s match, three all-rounders were playing in the form of Akshar Patel, Washington Sundar and Shivam Dubey.

Insecurity increased due to arrival of Vaibhav Suryavanshi?
However, it is not that India has lost matches since the arrival of Vaibhav Suryavanshi, because he was not playing in both the matches against Ireland. But still he was a part of the team, in such a situation the pressure has increased on other batsmen that they have to score runs at a fast pace otherwise Vaibhav can take his place. Ravi Shastri had also said that once Vaibhav comes into the playing 11, it will be difficult to replace him. In such a situation, it is natural for other players to have insecurity. Regarding this, questions are raised on captain Shreyas Iyer and head coach Gautam Gambhir that they did not handle this situation well.
