Thank you Gambhir

[gakgupta]

I’ve been trying to stop watching cricket for a long time, but my passion for the game was so strong that no matter how much I decided not to watch, I would still end up in front of the TV just minutes before a match began.

 

But thanks to Mr. Gambhir, I’ve finally managed to stop. His selections have been so baffling and disappointing that they’ve actually broken my interest in watching cricket — and now I can use that time for something meaningful.

 

I genuinely don’t understand how Shubman Gill keeps getting selected in T20s while players like Sanju Samson sit out. Because of Gill, both Samson and Rinku Singh lose opportunities. And what exactly is Jitesh Sharma contributing with those wild, uncontrolled swings?

 

Washington Sundar batting at No. 4 in ODIs and Tests is even more shocking. At best, he is a part-time all-rounder, and his Ranji statistics clearly reflect that.

When was the last time India lost all five Test matches at home? This phase is unbelievable.

 

Gambhir will surely be remembered in Indian cricket history — but not for the right reasons. I always admired him as a player, especially his innings in the 2011 World Cup final, but it’s becoming clear that he is not cut out for coaching.

International cricket**

 

I think this is BCCI master plan to be facilitated by Gambu as their enforcer to destroy indian cricket and get fans to switch off and focus only on IPL

Only following SENA tours and ICC tournaments now. 

 

Test cricket in India is one of the worst thing to watch in all of the sports in the world. Even some African football leagues have better experience and generate more interest.

No doubt about cricket continuing... It's about which format will survive and how market dynamics impact the longest form
