Mumbai . Former Australian captain Ricky Ponting had raised questions on the shameful Test series defeat against New Zealand and the flop show of many senior players of Team India including captain Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli. In response to this, Indian team head coach Gautam Gambhir has retaliated.
The head coach of the Indian team supported his senior players including captain Rohit Sharma and said that Ponting should talk about the Australian team.
Both Rohit and Kohli were not in their best form in the recently concluded threematch home series against New Zealand. Rohit scored only 91 runs in six innings, including one halfcentury, while Kohli scored 93 runs, 70 of which came in the second innings of the first Test in Bengaluru.
Gambhir said, “What does Ricky Ponting have to do with Indian cricket? He should be talking about Australia. Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are still passionate about the game and want to achieve greater heights in their careers.” Are.”
“They are hungry for success and have performed well for the country over the last few years. Even other players are performing well and I am sure we will improve as a group,” he said. I am not worried about Virat and Rohit.”
Gambhir expressed full confidence in the senior batsmen and rejected any doubts on their form.
The head coach said, “I have no worries about Rohit and Virat. They are strong players and have achieved a lot for Indian cricket and will continue to do so.
In fact, last week Ponting expressed concern over Virat Kohli's form in the ICC review and raised questions on his selection in the Test team despite consecutive flop shows.
