There is growing talk that things are not smooth between Indian coach Gautam Gambhir and Rishabh Pant. You keep hearing claims that they stopped talking after the Test match against South Africa in Guwahati.
Pant’s ODI Snub Fuels Anger
Reports of Pant missing from the ODI squad against New Zealand have intensified the chatter. You see many fans opposing the decision openly. They blame GG and believe personal issues influenced the call.
Gambhir’s Attitude Under Scrutiny
You often hear that Gambhir has a strong ego. People say this trait showed during his playing days and now reflects in his coaching. If a disagreement existed, many feel he should have resolved it directly with Pant.
Emotional Decisions Draw Criticism
Instead, Gambhir is seen as reacting emotionally rather than calmly. Earlier, you may have overlooked this behaviour hoping results would improve. Now, repeated controversies are wearing patience thin.
Calls for Change Grow Louder
Public voices are demanding his removal, especially from the red-ball setup. VVS Laxman is emerging as a preferred option for Tests. Hardcore fans are even pushing MS Dhoni for white-ball roles.
Pressure From All Sides
You can sense that GG is under serious pressure from fans and the BCCI. If this alleged ego-driven approach continues, many believe Team India may soon look for a new coach.
