"Gautam Gambhir Is A Hypocrite": Ex-India Star Drops Bombshell After Border-Gavaskar Trophy Disaster

Former Indian cricket team star Manoj Tiwary launched a scathing attack on coach Gautam Gambhir as he called him a 'hypocrite' following the Test series loss against Australia. Under Gambhir's coaching, India lost the ODI series in Sri Lanka and also slumped to a humiliating Test series loss against New Zealand at home. The Border-Gavaskar Trophy loss led to more criticism for Gambhir with Tiwary saying that he has not shown the kind of coaching that was expected. He also went on to criticise the appointments of bowling coach Morne Morkel and assistant coach Abhishek Nayar.

"Shouldn't Be Dependent...": Gautam Gambhir's 'Jasprit Bumrah' Verdict After Australia Series Loss

Indian cricket team head coach Gautam Gambhir said that the side cannot always be dependent on star fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah to get the results following the loss against Australia in the Sydney Test on Sunday. Bumrah did not bowl on Day 3 of the match due to a back spasm as Australia marched on to a dominant victory. The loss spelt the end of India's World Test Championship (WTC) Final dreams as Australia will take on South Africa in the summit clash. During the post-match press conference, Gambhir said that the defeat cannot be attributed to Bumrah's absence and pointed out that they still had a good side but were unable to get the desired result.

India's Champions Trophy Squad: Rohit Sharma To Lead, Three Big Exclusions?

Out-of-form veterans Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli will continue to form the batting core of India's ODI squad but there are at least three senior players whose future in the 50-over format could be debated when the selectors gather this weekend to pick the squad for the Champions Trophy. KL Rahul, Mohammed Shami and Ravindra Jadeja's presence in the side is not a surety for the event starting February 19 even though they were a part of last year's World Cup. Since the final, India have played six ODIs and while Shami and Jadeja were rested, Rahul was included for both the away bilateral engagements against South Africa and Sri Lanka. Against Sri Lanka, however, he was dropped in the middle of the series after failing to get going in the middle overs. The world is also yet to forget how his sedate half century after using up 100-plus deliveries became a prime reason for India's loss on November 19, 2023 against Australia.

Karnataka's Prasidh Krishna, Devdutt Padikkal and Tamil Nadu all-rounder Washington Sundar will be available for the Vijay Hazare Trophy knockout matches, starting in Vadodara from Thursday, after featuring in the recent Border-Gavaskar Trophy series against Australia. However, KL Rahul, who played all the five Test matches against the Aussies, has requested for a break and will skip the Hazare knockouts. Rahul's availability for the second phase of the Ranji Trophy, beginning on January 23, will be decided at a later date. India head coach Gautam Gambhir had recently expressed his desire to see frontline Indian players making themselves available for the remainder of the premier domestic red-ball tournament.

"Game Will Stagnate...": India Team Management Member Warns Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli - Report

The Test series defeat against Australia resulted in massive criticism for the Indian cricket team batters - especially the senior duo of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. Both batters had a forgettable campaign with Rohit dropping himself for the final Test after scoring just 31 runs in 3 matches. Following the series loss, Sunil Gavaskar and Irfan Pathan both urged Indian cricketers to play domestic cricket while head coach Gautam Gambhir also dropped a similar hint. Amid the ongoing conversation, a member of the Indian team management admitted that "while playing domestic cricket cannot fix all the flaws, it can certainly help Test players get into the rhythm needed to play the longest format."

"He Got The Wicket But...": Sam Konstas Breaks Silence On Altercation With Jasprit Bumrah In Sydney

Australia's stylish opening batter Sam Konstas made plenty of fans and a few foes as well with his animatic batting in the final two matches of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. In Sydney, Konstas even clashed with India's Jasprit Bumrah shortly before stumps on Day 1, prompting a huge chatter around his act on social media. Konstas unnecessarily intervened in a matter solely between Usman Khawaja and the India pacer. However, Konstas' intervention fired up Bumrah, who dismissed Khawaja on the next delivery. The rookie Australian opener has now opened up on the incident.
