Dinesh Karthik on Gautam Gambhir Coaching Style: Indian cricket team head coach Gautam Gambhir is facing criticism these days. The defeat in the ODI series against Sri Lanka after 20 years and the clean sweep in the three-Test series against New Zealand have raised questions on his coaching style. Meanwhile, former Indian cricketer Dinesh Karthik defended Gambhir and said that he should be given some time and support.

Dinesh Karthik, who is playing the SAT20 League in South Africa, told Cricbuzz, “Gambhir has taken charge of the team at a difficult time. It is not easy to replace Rahul Dravid after his successful coaching. The team needs to understand his coaching and It will take some time to adapt to his methods.”
Dinesh Karthik further said, “Gambhir has left a deep impact on young players in T20 cricket. But the conditions are proving difficult for him in Test and ODI. It was a good start with the series win against Bangladesh, but after that everything went wrong.”
Let us tell you that under the coaching of Gautam Gambhir, the Indian team has performed brilliantly in T20 so far. They have not lost a single T20 series yet. However, the team has faced challenging times in Test and ODI formats.
After the Australia series, Gambhir made a statement about the future of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, on which Dinesh Karthik said, “Gambhir wants these players to decide for themselves what is better for them.”
Dinesh Karthik finally said, “The pressure on Gambhir is increasing. The coach can create a good atmosphere in the dressing room, but the players themselves have to face challenges on the field.”
