'You Won't Hear Such Statements From Rahul Dravid': Gautam Gambhir Hits Out at Ravi Shastri
Ravi Shastri has already retired as the head coach of the Indian cricket team earlier this month. Shastri's term ended shortly after India were knocked out of the Super 12 stage of the T20 Cricket World Cup. Under Robi Shastri's coaching, the Indian cricket team reached the top in Test cricket. India have also won a number of Test matches on Australian soil. India has also won in South Africa and England.
Ravi Shastri has already retired as the head coach of the Indian cricket team earlier this month. Shastri's tenure will expire after India are knocked out of the Super 12 stage of the T20 Cricket World Cup. India have not won any ICC trophy under Shastri's coaching. India were runners-up in the Champions Trophy in 2016, semi-finalists in the 2019 World Cup and also runners-up in the World Test Championship. And recently in the T20 World Cup, he has given a disappointing performance. Therefore, there was considerable disagreement on whether Shastri's term would be renewed or not.
When Gautam Gambhir was asked about the failure of former Team India head coach Ravi Shastri, the former India opener was virtually critical. Gambhir is not at all happy with the remarks made by Ravi Shastri, especially after winning matches on foreign soil.
In an interview to Navbharat Times, Gambhir said, "One thing I was always surprised to see was that when you are playing well, there is no need to be fancy about it. When we won the World Cup in 2011, no one commented personally. As I always said, this is the best team in the world. The whole country should be united. Goes. Under Robi Shastri's coaching, the Indian cricket team reached the top in Test cricket. India have also won a number of Test matches on Australian soil. India has also won in South Africa and England.
