‘Need to stay calm and understand…’, Former India head coach gives important advice to Gautam Gambhir before BGT 2024-25

New Delhi: After the Indian team’s humiliating 3-0 defeat to New Zealand at home, head coach Gautam Gambhir has faced a lot of criticism. Earlier, the Rohit Sharma-led Team India also had to face defeat in the ODI series against Sri Lanka.

Team India’s performance has raised questions on Gambhir’s position, as several media reports suggest that if India fails to live up to expectations in the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT), the BCCI may consider a coaching change.

On the other hand, before the start of the BGT series in Australia against Australia, former Indian cricketer and coach Ravi Shastri has given big advice to Gautam Gambhir. It is worth noting that when India defeated Australia in the BGT series in Australia in 2018, Ravi Shastri was the coach of the Indian cricket team at that time.

Ravi Shastri gives important advice to Gautam Gambhir:
Let us tell you that before the start of the BGT series between India and Australia, Shastri said in the Star Sports press room – “The first thing I think is to stay calm. You know that do not let any factor coming from outside affect you. Because of this, do not get into a situation where there is a sudden reaction. Stay calm and understand your players. You will see them in match situations. You will see them in India, you will see them abroad. You will see what a player has to do to tick. You will understand the circumstances of a team that due to the understanding of temperament, a certain player may be better than another.”
