Ashish Nehra : Team India is currently touring Sri Lanka. The three-match T20 series was a whitewash. Surya Kumar Yadav as a captain and Gautam Gambhir as a coach became a sweet memory. Everyone predicted that India will win the three-match ODI series as well. It is analyzed that Sri Lanka will have to cover up the terrible defeats. But Sri Lanka is playing brilliantly, defying everyone's expectations. Terrible Indian batting is seriously troubling the line-up. While India should have won the first match, it was tied. India lost the second match due to middle order failure. With this, all eyes are now on the third match. If India wins the third match, both the teams will stand as joint winners with the series 1-1. The Indian team has not won an ODI series in Sri Lanka for the last 27 years. With this, it was thought that the series should be secured this time.. but the situation does not seem to fulfill those hopes.
Ashish Nehra, former player of Team India, made important comments after India's defeat in the second ODI. They are currently generating discussion on social media..” Gautam Gambhir started his new journey as a coach with Team India. He started showing his mark. Its results were seen in the T20 series against the Sri Lankan team. Giving opportunity to new players is a good development.. Gautam Gambhir is not a foreign coach.. He knows how much effort to put on Team India.. At the same time star players Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are not required to play in the Sri Lanka tournament. Both of them said goodbye to the T20 format. Thus new players got opportunities. Such actions bring new blood into the team. It will give good results.. What does Gautam Gambhir need to say about Virat and Rohit? He has been watching them all the time. Then there is nothing new to teach. If not, it would be better if Virat and Rohit participate in domestic tournaments,” Nehra expressed his opinion.
Gautam Gambhir mentored the Kolkata team in the IPL before becoming the coach of Team India. He led the team to win the 2024 season cup. BCCI liked it and got in touch with Gautam Gambhir. After the end of Rahul Dravid's contract, Gautam Gambhir has been appointed as his replacement. Other allowances are available in addition. Although Rohit Sharma asked Rahul Dravid to continue as coach, he did not agree. This made Gautam Gambhir's entry inevitable. Earlier Gautam Gambhir had a fight with Virat Kohli. Neither of them spoke for a few days. Both of them came together in the recent IPL. Gautam Gambhir and Virat Kohli are talking about the tournament going on in Sri Lanka. It seems from the photos posted by BCCI on social media that Virat is following Gautam Gambhir's instructions. On the other hand, the first ODI in Sri Lanka was tied. India lost in the second ODI.. and India had to win in the third ODI. A win in this match will tie the series at 1-1. Before the ongoing tournament against Sri Lanka, India toured Zimbabwe.. won the T20 series by 4-1. Earlier won the T20 World Cup. By winning the final match against South Africa by seven runs, they checked the long wait of 17 years.
