There Is A Lot Of Performance Pressure On Gautam Gambhir, Says Aakash Chopra
World Test Championship: India’s struggles in Test cricket are piling the pressure on head coach Gautam Gambhir, according to former opener Aakash Chopra, as the team reels from a five-wicket defeat to England in the first Test at Headingley.
Despite solid contributions from the top order, India’s lower-order batting collapsed on both occasions, leaving the side with sub-par totals and enabling England to chase down a mammoth 371 in the final innings.
Chopra, analysing the loss on his YouTube channel, pointed to a glaring lack of balance in the Indian lineup. “Our tail doesn’t bat and our top order doesn’t bowl. They should bowl a little at least. I am not saying that you need to give 15-odd overs, that you should have a player like Jacques Kallis, or like they (South Africa) are playing Wiaan Mulder at No. 3, or Aiden Markram is bowling a lot,” Chopra said.
