Former fast bowler of India cricket team Ashish Nehra criticised the approach of head coach GautamGambhir in the ongoing IND vs. SL ODI series. Nehra claimed that Gambhir had gotten his strategy wrong by getting Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli to play the series while opportunities could have been given to others. Nehra’s remarks come after India’s 32-run defeat to Sri Lanka in the IND vs. SL 2nd ODI.
Following the loss of team India while speaking, Nehra reckoned that Gambhir could have rather given opportunities to other youngsters instead of insisting on Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli to play the series. He admitted that while Gambhir wanted to spend time with experienced players as the new coach, it wasn’t like he was a foreign coach who had no idea about the duo.
Ashish Nehra said, “I know Gambhir is a new coach, and he wants to spend some time with the experienced players, but it isn’t like he doesn’t know the two of them. He is not a foreign coach who wants to get his equation right with Kohli and Rohit.”
