Have targeted Gambhir before also
This is not the first time that Iceland Cricket has taken a dig at Gautam Gambhir. Earlier, he had shared a similar post after India’s defeat against New Zealand and South Africa. Then he wrote that “The place of coach of our team is already filled, hence Gautam Gambhir will not be offered.” Fans reacted fiercely to that post also.
Why did the Indian team lose in the second match?
In the second T20 match of the India vs Ireland series, Ireland batted first and scored 154 runs. The target was not big, but the Indian batsmen could not take advantage of the good start. The entire team could score only 153 runs in 20 overs and India lost the match by just 1 run. Cricket experts believe that poor shot selection, slow batting in the middle overs and not giving a chance to the right players in the playing-11 were the major reasons for the defeat. 15-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi was also included in the team in this series, but he did not get a chance to debut. He remained sitting on the bench the entire series, after which the fans also raised questions on the team selection.
Will Gautam Gambhir’s problems increase?
Gautam Gambhir was made the head coach of the Indian team in 2024, succeeding Rahul Dravid. During his tenure, India has achieved some memorable victories, but has also suffered many disappointing defeats. India has lost the Test series against New Zealand at home. After this, the team had to face defeat in the ODI series against New Zealand and now in the T20 series against Ireland. After continuous defeats, questions are being raised on Gambhir’s strategy and team selection. Now everyone’s eyes are on the India-England series starting from July 1. Fans hope that the Indian team will make a strong comeback after learning from this defeat and will give a befitting reply to the critics with its performance.
