Indian cricket team head coach Gautam Gambhir has suddenly decided to return home amid the Australia tour. He will not be with the Indian team in the second practice match held in Canberra starting from 30 November. However, Gambhir will join the team before the Adelaide Test starting from December 6. His move gives rise to many questions, but an important reason is said to be behind it – family function.
Gautam Gambhir’s family reason:
According to sources, Gautam Gambhir is taking the decision to return home because of a family function. People close to Gambhir said that there is some special occasion in his family and hence he decided to stay away from the Indian team at this time. Moreover, there is a huge time gap between the first and second practice matches, which gave them the opportunity to return home. Gautam Gambhir himself has not announced any official statement in this regard, but his return can definitely pose a temporary challenge for Team India.
Team India’s match:
The Indian team is now getting ready for the second practice match starting from November 30 in Canberra. This match is very important for the Indian cricket team, because the team is currently leading 1-0 in the 5 test match series. During this period, the captaincy and coaching work of the Indian team will now be on the shoulders of assistant coach Abhishek Nair, bowling coach Morne Morkel and Ryan ten Doeschate. The Indian team will do its training under the guidance of all these coaches, and captain Rohit Sharma will also guide the team during this period.
Rohit Sharma’s return:
Despite the absence of Gautam Gambhir, there is also a happy news for the Indian team. Indian team captain Rohit Sharma has returned from his paternity leave on 24 November. Rohit’s wife Ritika has recently given birth to a son, and that is why he was away from the team for a few days. Now that he is back, the Indian team is confident of going into practice and upcoming matches under his captaincy.
Great win in Perth Test:
The Indian cricket team recently performed brilliantly by defeating Australia by 295 runs in the test match played in Perth. On the fourth day, his team was all out for just 238 runs while Australia was chasing the target of 534 runs. India scored 487 runs in its second innings and declared. Earlier, the Indian team had scored 150 runs in its first innings, while Australia’s first innings was reduced to only 104 runs.
Indian team captain Jasprit Bumrah had an important contribution in this victory. He took a total of 8 wickets in the match by taking 5 wickets in the first innings and 3 wickets in the second innings. Bumrah’s brilliant bowling played an important role in the Indian team’s victory. This brilliant performance gave the Indian team a 1-0 lead in the series, which increased the team’s confidence even more.
What will happen next?
After Gautam Gambhir’s return home, another important opportunity is coming for the Indian team. With Gambhir’s return during the Adelaide Test match on 6 December, the Indian team will get the guidance of its head coach. This Test could be decisive for India, and Gambhir’s presence will further strengthen the team strategically.
Apart from this, the confidence of the players of the Indian team is very high at this time. The victory in the Perth Test has not only raised the level of the team’s play but also strengthened the morale of the players. Especially the excellent form of captain Rohit Sharma and Bumrah has given the team a strong lead in the series.
Strengths and future of Indian cricket:
Even though Team India may be deprived of his guidance for some time due to Gautam Gambhir’s return home, there has been no reduction in the strength of Indian cricket. The coaching staff of the Indian team is full of experienced and capable players, and they are fully prepared to lead the team to success in the upcoming matches.
On the other hand, the way the Indian team has implemented its strategy under the leadership of team captain Rohit Sharma, it is equivalent to writing a new chapter on the cricket field. Now it will be interesting to see what the Indian team’s strategies are in the Adelaide Test and how much success they achieve in winning it.
Next matches of the series and upcoming strategies:
The Indian team now has many important matches in front of it. Although they have taken the lead in the series by winning the Perth Test, they will face tough competition against Australia in the upcoming matches. In such a situation, Team India will have to show wisdom and patience in its strategies.
The competition between India and Australia is going to become even more intense in the coming days. The Indian team will now have its eyes set on winning the series, and for this they will have to keep their strategy and team spirit strong.
Special Focus: Impact of coaching and captaincy
One thing is clear in Indian cricket that the role of coaching and captaincy is very big. The Indian team is facing a temporary challenge due to gauta Gambhir’s return home, but the experience of the assistant coach and bowling coach in his place can prove beneficial for the team. At the same time, the presence of captain Rohit Sharma can become a big strength for the Indian team, because his strategies and decisions always guide the team in the right direction.
