The Story in Brief
Sunil Gavaskar has warned Gautam Gambhir and his team as India prepare for the upcoming Test series against Sri Lanka. India are fifth in the World Test Championship standings with four wins and four losses from eight Tests, and need to win most of their remaining nine Tests to reach the final.
Gambhir's position as head coach is under scrutiny after poor results in both red-ball and white-ball cricket. The BCCI is reportedly considering two key factors before deciding his future. India also lack Jasprit Bumrah for the Sri Lanka series, adding to concerns about inexperience in the bowling attack.
The Indian Opinion
The panic over Gautam Gambhir's job and India's Test form feels premature after just one series loss to New Zealand. This is the same BCCI that backed Rahul Dravid after the 2021 WTC defeat. Gambhir's inexperience is an easy villain label, but no coach bats or bowls. The real test is how the XI perform in this Sri Lanka series, not the press conference. Watch if India's batting collapses again or holds steady.
