Batting was the biggest reason for the defeat of the Indian team on the Australia tour. Most of the batsmen failed in the series. Especially after the dismissal of an experienced batsman like Virat Kohli in the same manner 8 consecutive times and the poor batting of Rohit Sharma, BCCI's concern has increased. So now she wants to improve it quickly. According to the report, for this she wants to strengthen the coaching staff and is exploring new options. After this news came out, questions started being raised whether the board has lost confidence in Gautam Gambhir?

BCCI lost confidence in Gambhir?

BCCI had held a review meeting in Mumbai on January 11 regarding the performance of the Indian team. Captain Rohit Sharma, Chief Selector Ajit Agarkar and team head coach Gautam Gambhir were also present in this meeting. According to the report of Cricbuzz, after much discussion during this period, the team management has come to the conclusion that to improve the batting, there is a need to strengthen Gambhir's support staff, for which a batting coach can be brought. For this the board has started exploring options.

According to this report, veterans of domestic cricket are being looked at for the role of batting coach, although no final decision has been taken yet. Gautam Gambhir himself has been a great batsman. But after the Australia tour, he too is under the scanner. However, Gambhir need not worry, his place is safe. Let us tell you that there is no batting coach in his current support staff. Abhishek Nair and Ryan ten Deschate are in the role of assistant coaches. But their role is also not completely clear. Therefore the board has taken this step.
