After the defeat in the Melbourne Test, Indian team’s head coach Gautam Gambhir has expressed his displeasure over the performance of the players. According to the Indian Express, immediately after the players returned to the dressing room after the defeat, Gambhir told the entire team that now it’s enough. Gambhir also expressed his displeasure over the wrong shot selection of the players. Without naming anyone, he said that the players who make excuses of playing a natural game will have to play according to the situation. According to the report, Gambhir has said – the players were given 6 months to play in their own way, but now all this is over. From now on, any player who will not play according to my plan for the team will be thanked. Gambhir wanted Pujara in the team
Gambhir had demanded the return of Cheteshwar Pujara in this series. Gambhir wanted Pujara to return to the Test team, but the selectors refused. 36-year-old Pujara played an important role in the last two Australian tours. He scored the most 521 runs in seven innings on the 2018 tour. He also scored 271 runs on the 2021 tour. Pujara is remembered for his key role in the Gabba Test, where he played 211 balls to give India victory. Pant’s irresponsible shot
Rishabh Pant and Virat Kohli were also seen playing irresponsible shots in the Melbourne Test. Captain Rohit Sharma advised Pant on his shot, while Sunil Gavaskar called his shot stupid. Pant was caught at deep-third man in the first innings while trying to play a scoop shot on Scott Boland’s ball. At the same time, Kohli was dismissed several times in the entire series on a ball going outside the off side. India lost on the last day in Melbourne
