Gautam Gambhir, like many Indian cricketers, is going through intense scrutiny after current performances. For the reason that time Gambhir took over as India’s head coach, the aspect misplaced in Sri Lanka in an ODI collection, then towards New Zealand at dwelling in Take a look at collection and eventually, bought crushed 3-1 by Australia within the Border Gavaskar Trophy. It’s after a few years that Indian cricket workforce has had such a collection of failures. A report even mentioned that after the Champions Trophy 2025, Gambhir’s contract could also be reviewed.
Holding this in thoughts, a cricket fan posed an attention-grabbing query to former India cricketer Aakash Chopra. “If India doesn’t do well in 2025 Champions Trophy, will Gautam Gambhir be sacked?” the follower requested the previous India cricketer.
Chopra defined that Champions Trophy could also be too early a event for any powerful choices to be taken towards Gambhir.
“This time it’s not normal Champions Trophy. The 2013 Champions Trophy was also not normal because it marked the beginning of a new era. This time, it’s the back-end of a transition. I really hope this Indian team doesn’t happen, because of it doesn’t happen, you will see churning in Indians cricket. Whether Gautam Gambhir will be sacked? Well, I feel one more England tour. I don’t think the BCCI will say anything to him until then. After the England tour, it will be a year since he took over the reins. You were supposed to ensure transition within one year. So how you did there, which players were prepared, and whether the team’s performances have improved, a review may be done for him,” he replied on his YouTube channel.
“However, at least one year at the job is absolutely important to review someone’s performance. You need 12 months. So I feel not the Champions Trophy, but the England tour. That might just be a critical barometer or parameter, based on which Gautam Gambhir’s performance might be reviewed. It won’t be a bad thing. You review the performances of batters and bowlers, so do it for the coach as well.”
