Gambhir's anger erupts after continuous criticismImage Credit source: PTI
Team India's head coach Gautam Gambhir has been on everyone's target since losing the Test series against South Africa. There are continuous demands to remove him from the coaching of the Test team. Many types of statements are being made regarding him and there is continuous criticism. But it seems that the serious ones are no longer able to tolerate the questions being raised on themselves. This is being said because after Team India's victory in the ODI series against South Africa, Gambhir vented his anger on the owner of an IPL franchise.
After losing 0-2 to South Africa in the Test series at home, Team India saved some respect in the ODI series. In the last match of the ODI series on Saturday 6 December in Visakhapatnam, India defeated South Africa by 9 wickets and thus won the series 2-1. After this victory of the team, the coach Gautam Gambhir He came for the press conference and was asked many questions but in response to one question his anger came out openly.
Gambhir got angry at the criticism
Gambhir was asked in the press conference about the criticism he has been facing since the defeat in the Test series.
In response to this, Gambhir vented out his anger and said that people should not interfere in the work areas of others. He said, "People and the media forgot that in the first Test, our captain and best batsman did not come out to bat in both the innings. People also said such things which have nothing to do with cricket. An IPL owner also wrote about split coaching. This is surprising. It is very important for people to stay in their work area. When we do not speak about someone's work, then they also do not have the right to come to our area."On critics. https://t.co/MJtrls28e8 pic.twitter.com/3IIRaFQYmw

What did the DC owner say?
The target of the head coach of Team India was at Parth Jindal, co-owner of IPL franchise Delhi Capitals, who had demanded a change in coaching in a social media post after the defeat in the Test series against South Africa.
He had written that Team India should appoint separate coaches for split coaching i.e. Test and limited overs formats.Not even close, what a complete thrashing at home! Dont remember seeing our test side being so weak at home!!!This is what happens when red ball specialists are not picked. This team is nowhere near reflective of the deep strength we possess in the red ball format. time for

Demand arose even during Shastri-Dravid era
Whatever Jindal said about split coaching, such demands and discussions have been taking place in Indian cricket earlier also. Even during the tenure of Ravi Shastri and Rahul Dravid, such demands have been raised in the media from time to time. But Shastri or Dravid never gave any such answer regarding this nor did they vent out their anger on anyone in this way. But this statement of Gambhir has raised questions on his behavior and despite the team's victory, he is once again being reprimanded.
