‘Remove Gambhir, bring Dhoni’

Recently, in an interview given to Lallantop, when Sreesanth was asked that the Indian Test team is not able to play like before. Under the captaincy of Virat Kohli, the team dominated outside India also. But before the question could be answered as to why the Indian team is struggling against teams like New Zealand and South Africa at home, Sreesanth asked who was the coach? Apart from this, he also held Gambhir responsible on issues to selection and team management. Taking his point further, the former cricketer said, ‘Change the coach, the Indian team needs a mentor, not a coach.

Contribution of players is most important

Taking his point forward, Sreesanth expressed his opinion on the role of the coach and said that the contribution of the players is the most important. On this success of Team India, Sreesanth said, “People say that Gautam Gambhir has made Team India the champion in the T20 World Cup this year, but I will say what he did. If Sanju was not in the team and he had not performed. If Surya had not captained well and Tilak had not had important innings, would we have become champions?

India’s flop show in domestic series

After winning the title of ICC T20 World Cup 2024, Gautam Gambhir was appointed as the new head coach of Team India. The Indian team achieved many successes under Gambhir’s coaching. However, India’s performance in Test cricket has been disappointing in recent times. During Gambhir’s tenure, India had to face defeat in the Test series against New Zealand and South Africa on its own soil. Due to which he had to face severe criticism.
