Harbhajan Singh’s Bold Remarks on Gautam Gambhir Ahead of Perth Test

The first Test between India and Australia in the much-awaited Border-Gavaskar trophy is going to start on November 22. Team India is suffering from injury concerns and above it the skipper Rohit Sharma is not available for the selection in the Perth Test.

Not only the team, but all eyes will also be there on the head coach Gautam Gambhir who has been the talk of the town after joining the designation for Team India. The whitewash in the ODI series against Sri Lanka and then the three-match Test series against New Zealand has raised too many questions about the former Indian batter.

India captain Rohit Sharma then talked about the team’s weaknesses and expressed hope that India would perform well in the 5-match Test series against Australia. Speaking on Jatin Sapru’s YouTube channel, the former Indian off-spinner Harbhajan has also given his opinion on the head coach Gautam Gambhir and his strategy. Harbhajan said that Gambhir might feel down at the beginning of the series but needs to stay calm and lead India in the right direction.

Harbhajan Singh On Gautam Gambhir

Harbhajan Singh said, “It is difficult to run big teams, everyone takes time. If the results were fine, everyone would have said ‘see, Gautam is making the team win’. The series against Australia is important, a lot of things will be tested. Gautam Gambhir who will be sitting outside, his anger and patience will be tested.”

“He cannot control anything from the outside, big players get frustrated sitting on the sidelines. This Test, Gambhir needs to pass. The tour is very important for Gambhir. In this country, everyone has an opinion. Gautam Gambhir must be feeling low, he is on the radar. If the series doesn’t go well, Gambhir will be at the receiving end. I want him to stay calm and for the team to perform well,” he added.
