After winning the T20 World Cup 2024, the Indian cricket team and its star players, which were looking at great heights, have suddenly started lagging behind. Team India’s strong performance continues in the T20 format, but many players including the World Cup winning team captain Rohit Sharma are also playing in the ODI and Test teams and the performance of Team India in both these formats has started falling continuously. The defeat in the home Test series against New Zealand has shocked everyone and now amidst this shocking performance, a sensational report has come. This report is about the ongoing turmoil within Team India, in which it has been claimed that there has been a rift between captain Rohit Sharma and coach Gautam Gambhir and there has been an argument between the two regarding running the team.
Rohit-Gambhir dispute due to these reasons – report
This sensational claim has been made in the report of a news channel. This report has come 2 days before the third Test match between India and New Zealand starting from November 1 in Mumbai. It has been claimed in this report that there are differences between Rohit and Gambhir regarding decision making in the team and the performance of the players. Not only this, it has also been claimed that there were heated arguments between the two on some occasions. Gambhir was made the new head coach of Team India in July itself.
In the report, quoting Team India sources, it has been claimed that the main reason for this dispute between Rohit and Gambhir is various types of decisions. According to this, Gautam Gambhir is taking many decisions which captain Rohit Sharma is not liking and there has been a lot of debate between them regarding this. The real root of the dispute between the two is that both the legends want to run the team in their own way. It is being told in the report that after Gautam Gambhir became the coach, Rohit Sharma is not doing well because Gambhir is not ready to back down from his decisions. It has been told that Rohit is not able to take decisions as per his wish.
Gambhir is not happy because of this
There is also debate about the performance of Team India. Especially the performance of the ODI and Test team is under question, because in both these formats, Rohit is the captain and apart from him, some senior players are also in the team. The team had to face defeat in the ODI series against Sri Lanka and now New Zealand has bitten the dust in the Test. It has been told that coach Gambhir is not happy with the performance of some senior players as they are continuously failing. Gambhir wants the senior players to perform well or else be dropped from the team. He also believes that the team is performing well in T20 but not in ODI and Test and this is raising questions on Gambhir.
Team India divided?
Not only this, it has also been told in the report that since the controversy came to light, many senior players have also taken Rohit’s side. In this way, the team is now divided into 3 groups, in which some senior players including Rohit Sharma are there while some players are standing with coach Gambhir. Apart from these, there is a small part of those players who are not part of any group. Now how true all these claims are, it will be known in the coming times. However, even before this there have been incidents of fighting between the coach and the captain in Indian cricket.
