Gautam Gambhir Changing Rahul Dravid-Era 'Pitch' Tactic Led To New Zealand Defeat? Report Says...

The Indian cricket team has faced a lot of criticism after suffering a 0-3 whitewash against New Zealand in the recently-concluded Test series. The Rohit Sharma-led side was completely outplayed by the visitors and the humiliating results have also put head coach Gautam Gambhir in an uncomfortable position. According to a report, the BCCI will be discussing the series loss in detail and one of the topics will be the pitches used in Pune and Mumbai. During the tenure of Rahul Dravid as head coach, India decided to stop making rank turners in home Tests. However, Gambhir reportedly went back to the tactic despite resistance from part of the team management and India ended up losing both games.

BCCI To Take Big Step On Gautam Gambhir's 'Selector' Role After Poor Start: Report

Unprecedented series defeats against Sri Lanka and New Zealand have placed Gautam Gambhir under immense pressure barely three months into his appointment as the head coach of the Indian team. He was appointed to the top post amid much fanfare and was also given a rare seat at the selection committee meeting for the tour of Australia.
