Gambhir defended his team and their strategy

India’s head coach Gautam Gambhir has come under fire following India’s dismal batting performance in the second Test against New Zealand at Pune. The Indian team was bowled out for a mere 46 runs in their first innings, leading to a wave of criticism and trolling on social media. Ene in the second innings the Indian batting collapsed for 105/7.

Gambhir, who had confidently stated before the match that India could score 400 runs in a day, found himself at the center of the backlash.

“We want to be the team that can score 400 runs in a day and also bat for two days to save a Test match,” Gambhir had said during the pre-match press conference1. However, the team’s performance fell drastically short of this ambitious target.

Fans took to Twitter to express their disappointment and mock Gambhir’s bold claims. One user tweeted, “Gautam Gambhir: We want to be the team that can score 400 in a day. Result: India 46/10.

Another tweet read, “We want to be the team that can score 400 in a day and also bat for two days. Result: 5 Indian batsmen went for a duck. India 46/10.

The criticism extended beyond Gambhir’s remarks, with many questioning the decision to bat first on a pitch that had been covered for two days due to rain. “Why would you choose to bat first on such a damp pitch? Poor decision-making at its best,” commented another fan on social media.

Despite the backlash, Gambhir defended his team and their strategy. “Cricket is a game of uncertainties. We had a plan, and unfortunately, it didn’t work out this time. But we believe in our players and their abilities,” he said in a post-match interview.
