Gautam Gambhir’s first big mistake
Gautam Gambhir The first and biggest mistake was the playing eleven and tampering with it.

Gautam Gambhir’s third big mistake
Pitch selection is very important in a home Test series and Gambhir missed the mark on this front too. Serious Stuck with a turning track in Kolkata and took a flat wicket in Guwahati. But here also the work did not work. Not only did the players perform poorly but the reason for this was also due to some decisions of Gambhir.

He said that the series was drawn in England during my stay. I was also the coach in the victory of Champions Trophy and Asia Cup.

After such performance, it now seems that this team will not be able to reach the final of the World Test Championship this time like last time.
