Poor batting from the top order is the main reason why India hasn’t got off to the best start yet in the first four Test matches against Pat Cummins & Co., and so Rohit Sharma’s side came to Australia for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024–25.
This is the first Test tour to Australia for Team India under Rohit Sharma as their captain and during Gautam Gambhir’s coaching tenure.
The visitors are 1-2 down in the series after four Tests, having emerged victorious in the last two Test series they have played in Australia. If they do not respond well in the fifth Test match and the Champions Trophy 2025 next month, they will be in line for a good scrutiny, and the head coach might receive the fire.
If the performance doesn’t improve, Gautam Gambhir’s job would not be secure; A senior bcci official told PTI.
The reason is, most of the players in that team are uncomfortable because of his behavior to change the starting eleven in every match. A performer like Nitish Reddy played well in BGT so far but disagreement continues on Shubman Gill.
The ICC chief has now replaced BCCI secretary Jay Shah, and the Board won’t have a full-time replacement until after January 12. Now, some thinking awaits the BCCI brass after that administrative stability is established.
He was a compromise as some of the international stars were not willing to coach all the three formats and VVS Laxman had always been BCCI’s favourite choice. Of course, there were other compulsions too. The bcci official said,.
