Gautam Gambhir India Head Coach: For long formats like tests, flexibility, restraint and strategic depth are very important. If these aspects are not balanced, then the Indian team can lose further Test matches.

India’s eighth Test defeat in Gautam Gambhir’s coaching
Highlights
- India’s eighth Test defeat in Gautam Gambhir’s coaching
- Is India losing continuously in Tests due to over agreation
- Plan B deficiency and flaws in test approach also
First flaw- over forehead
The team’s mindset under the leadership of Gautam Gambhir is probably becoming more aggressive than necessary. The players have forgotten the benefit of being restrained.
It is important to play according to patience, flexibility and situation in Test cricket.
Third Khatt- Constant changing playing XI
Due to the workload management, some players do not play all the matches in the same series, so the playing XI has to be changed again and again. This weakens the confidence of the team.
India’s strength has been spin bowling, but India is constantly ignoring the match winning spinner like Kuldeep Yadav in the process of long batting.
Fifth Khatt- Lack of Plan-B during the match
If the initial strategy fails and the team does not have any alternative plan, India needs to overcome as soon as possible.
