The editorial
Source: The Indian Express · 3 Jan 2025SHORTLY AFTER India lost seven wickets in 20.4 overs and handed the Melbourne Test to Australia, head coach Gautam Gambhir had some stern words for the entire squad in the dressing room on Monday. ‘Bahut ho gaya (I’ve had enough),’ the former India opener is learnt to have said, not holding back in his assessment of the team.
Though Gambhir didn’t take names, the gist of his speech was about how the players were doing their own thing in the name of ‘natural game’, instead of playing according to the situation.
