New Delhi. The Indian cricket team is on Australia tour after showing the most shameful game in history. New Zealand has raised many questions by white washing Team India on Diwali. Even the careers of many cricketers are in question. Australia tour can decide the future of many cricketers. Especially captain Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and coach Gautam Gambhir. If you see statements like Rohit’s defeat is loud… and Gambhir’s not thinking about WTC… now again, then you will understand that Team India’s train has derailed.
The test series between India and Australia is starting from 22nd November. This is a series for which every cricket lover waits. In the last 20-25 years, Indian fans have hardly got more thrill in any cricket series than the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. An exciting contest is expected this time too. Both the teams are going to come face to face after historic defeat. The Indian Test team has reached Australia after losing 0-3 to New Zealand. Pakistan also defeated Australia 2-1 in the ODI series.
Cricket is not a game of statistics, it is a game of trust.
But these are all statistics. Cricket lovers know very well that cricket is more a game of trust than statistics. It is a game of approach, in which the Indian team has looked negative in the recent times. Otherwise, who is the captain who, after showing the worst game in history, says that this much should be loud. Rohit Sharma had said this in Pune after losing the series to New Zealand. If we study Rohit’s body language and this answer closely, it seems that he had no idea that Team India could lose. Over-confidence… Obviously, when there was no idea of defeat, there was no preparation as to what answer to give after the defeat. And if it was so then it is not a good sign for the team. How can the Indian captain be so careless?
overconfidence is spoiling the game
When coach Gautam Gambhir held a press conference before leaving for Australia, his tone was also similar to Rohit. Like just completing the formalities of a press conference. Otherwise, how can any coach say on the question of WTC that he is not thinking about it? Now the job of a coach is not to play. His job is to think and make strategies. But that same overconfident attitude or that I know what to do, I mean you guys…
don’t take questions seriously
Ever since the World Test Championship started, the world has started getting champions in this format too. India reached the WTC final twice, but could not win the title. Once under the captaincy of Virat Kohli and second time under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, there was defeat. In such a situation, Team India would like to reach the WTC final for the third consecutive time. Its path lies through big victories in Australia. If Coach Gambhir had been taking the questions of the journalists seriously then the answer would not have been difficult for him. He could have said that the Indian team will use its full strength to win the series, so that the path to the WTC final becomes easier.
Not serious, send Rohit to the press conference,
Perhaps Sanjay Manjrekar did not like these careless statements of coach Gambhir. Manjrekar even tweeted and said that BCCI should send Rohit Sharma and Ajit Agarkar for the press conference instead of Gambhir. He (Gambhir) does not have the right words or tone to talk to them.
a chance to score a hat-trick of wins
If the captain and coach become victims of such self-confidence then it cannot be good for any team. Hopefully this will not happen with Indian captain Rohit Sharma and coach Gautam Gambhir. India has a golden opportunity to make a hat-trick of winning the Test series in Australia. Fans are hoping that India will win this series, so that the bitter memories of defeat by New Zealand can be reduced.
