“Tik Nahi Payega”: On Gautam Gambhir’s Role, India’s T20 World Cup-Winner Drops Bold Remark

Former India pacer Joginder Sharma feels Gautam Gambhir‘s tenure as head coach of the group won’t be an extended one, primarily due to his outspoken nature. Gambhir took over as head coach of the Indian group final month after Rahul Dravid tenure got here to an finish after the T20 World Cup in June. Under the management of Suryakumar Yadav, India defeated Sri Lanka 3-0 in Gambhir’s debut T20I collection as head coach.

“Gautam Gambhir team ko sambhalne waala hai lekin par mera ye manna hai ki Gautam Gambhir jyada lambe samay tak tik nahi payega (Gautam Gambhir is the one to manage the team, but I believe that Gautam Gambhir will not be able to stay for a long time),” Joginder stated on Shubhankar Mishra‘s podcast.

Joginder added that Gambhir’s no-nonsense perspective and outspoken nature may result in his sooner than anticipated departure.

“Kyunki Gautam Gambhir ke apne hi kuch faisle hote hain. Ho sakta hai kisi player se man motaaw ho jaye. Mai Virat Kohli ki baat nahi kar raha hun. Gautam Gambhir ke faisle kai baar aise ho jaate hain ki dusro ko pasand nahi aate (This is because Gautam Gambhir has his own decisions. It might happen that he has a disagreement with a player. I am not talking about Virat Kohli. Many times, Gautam Gambhir’s decisions are such that others do not like them),” he added.

Joginder additional defined that Gambhir is somebody who speaks his coronary heart out and would not imagine in boot-licking.

“Gautam Gambhir seedhi baat karne waala hai. Wo kisi ke paas jaane waala nahi hai. Gautam Gambhir chaplusi karne waala banda nahi hai. Usko credit dene waale hum log hain. Wo apna kaam karta hai, sacche dil se karta hai, badi imaandaari se karta hai. (Gautam Gambhir speaks directly. He is not someone who will go to anyone. Gautam Gambhir is not a person who flatters. We are the ones who give him credit. He does his work, does it sincerely, and does it with great honesty),” Joginder additional defined.
