Gautam Gambhir has received a lot of criticism for his decision to disregard Rahul Dravid’s flawless pitch theory during the New Zealand Tests.
The return of rank-turners in India’s Test match against New Zealand has raised serious concerns about head coach Gautam Gambhir’s future. India suffered the first-ever clean sweep in a three-match series and lost a home Test series for the first time in twelve years. The team’s demise was caused by a number of circumstances. But one of the most significant ones was head coach Gautam Gambhir’s insistence on bringing back rank turners for the Pune and Mumbai Tests. Former Pakistani cricketer Basit Ali. Also criticized Gambhir for the pitch selection, comparing him to Rahul Dravid as the discussion on the topic continues.
According to Basit, India’s new head coach Gambhir has a far superior coaching mentality than his predecessor Dravid. Gambhir was perplexed by the former Pakistani star’s choice to abandon Dravid’s pitch theory and return to rank-turners.
Gautam Gambhir is not as intelligent as Rahul Dravid. For four days, Dravid made pitches, and on the final two days, the ball would turn. Basit stated on his YouTube channel that “you are now making such pitches where even someone. Who isn’t a regular spinner is getting a lot of turn right from the first day.”
In the Indian team, Gambhir has also adopted a more aggressive style of play. Basit believes that unlike Dravid, the former coach of the Kolkata Knight Riders has a solid understanding of players’ psychology.
A good coach was Rahul Dravid. He was aware of the athletes’ mentality. He went on to say that it is unreasonable to order Virat Kohli to play T20 in Test cricket.
The Indian cricket team has a formidable challenge. When they travel to Australia for five Test matches. India’s triumph in Australia would mostly depend on Gambhir’s coaching philosophy and the exploits of seasoned players like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma.
