After the retirement of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli from Test cricket, the Gautam Gambhir era is believed to have begun. According to reports, Shubman Gill is the frontrunner to become India’s new Test captain and has the backing of the head coach. Now reportedly, India’s head coach Gautam Gambhir wants complete control over Team India’s proceedings.
According to Dainik Jagran’s report, Gautam Gambhir came to Indian cricket with the intention of ending the superstar culture. Along with this, his aim was to bring a 10-point rule, under which all players will have to play domestic cricket whenever they get a chance. Also, players will have to behave in a particular way during a tour.
The report said,
‘๐ฎ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ต๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐จ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐.’
Gautam Gambhir will single-handedly take charge of the team
It is being claimed that Gautam Gambhir played an important role in ousting Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli from red ball cricket. Rohit retired from Tests on May 7, while Virat Kohli decided to say goodbye to Tests on May 12. Both the players have taken this decision a few days before the England tour, which shows that Gambhir and selection committee chairman Ajit Agarkar are planning to move forward with a young team.
In the last few years, coach-captain relationships were seen in Indian cricket between Ravi Shastri-Kohli and Rahul Dravid-Rohit, in which Team India achieved success. However, Gambhir’s case seems to be different. The report claims that till now Gambhir had as much interference in team selection and other matters as the captain, but now that Rohit, Kohli and Ashwin have retired, it is likely that Gambhir will single-handedly take over the reins of the team.
The report further states that since Shubman Gill is just 25 years old, he cannot react to Gambhir’s decisions, whereas this is not the case with Jasprit Bumrah. He can respond to Gambhir’s call. The veteran fast bowler is reportedly out of the race for Test captaincy, as his workload needs to be managed.
