After Team India lost the Border Gavaskar Trophy in Australia, BCCI had held a review meeting on Saturday, January 11. Team India's Chief Selector Ajit Agarkar, Head Coach Gautam Gambhir and Indian Captain Rohit Sharma also participated in it. Many issues were discussed in this meeting. Now it is being claimed in the reports that it has also come to light in the meeting that Gautam Gambhir is not happy with the demands of the senior players of the team. The name of any player has not been revealed but the point is towards Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli only.

Gambhir is unhappy with senior players

There have been reports of discord within the team ever since Team India was in Australia for the Border Gavaskar Trophy. After the Perth Test victory, the players were seen roaming separately and did not celebrate the victory together. After the defeat in the Melbourne Test, the talks in Team India's dressing room were leaked outside. Whereas now once again big news has come out regarding the Indian team. It is being told that senior players had made some special demands related to practice time and hotel in Australia. A source said, 'He (Gautam Gambhir) has come to end the superstar culture and this is causing problems to some players.' On the other hand, the selection committee is also not happy with Gambhir. The selection committee wants Gambhir to stay away from selection related matters.

Former selector said- Glimpse of Chappell in Gambhir

A former selector has compared Gautam Gambhir with former Team India coach Greg Chail. The former selector said, 'Either you remain media friendly like Ravi Shastri and keep giving statements giving the players an alpha male image or remain silent like Rahul Dravid, Gary Kirsten and John Wright and do your work and give the players the limelight. Let it be. Chappell's method will not work in India. Let us tell you that Chappell was the coach of Team India from 2005 to 2007. During his tenure, his dispute with Indian players was in the news.

The selection committee is also unhappy with giving importance to Gambhir's manager.

Apart from this, the selection committee is also unhappy with Gautam Gambhir's manager Gaurav Arora being given more importance. The former selector said, 'Why was his PA sitting in the vehicle of the national selectors? They cannot even discuss things in private with an unknown third person in the car. Why was he given a place in BCCI's VIP box in Adelaide? Let us tell you that during the Australia tour, Gambhir's manager was seen sitting in the VIP box and watching the match.
