Gautam Gambhir: Team India head coach Gautam Gambhir, under scrutiny following the recent Test series defeat to South Africa, delivered a fiery rebuttal to critics after India clinched the ODI series 2–1 with a dominant nine-wicket victory over the Proteas in the third and final match of the series in Visakhapatnam on Saturday.
His strongest remarks were seemingly directed at Delhi Capitals co-owner Parth Jindal, who had publicly advocated for a split-coaching structure in Indian cricket.
Addressing the media after the series win, Gambhir, who highlighted the absence of skipper Shubman Gill, sidelined with a neck injury, as a key factor in India’s Test series loss, asserted that individuals outside the cricketing ecosystem should refrain from commenting on matters beyond their expertise.
