The Indian team management has made players “insecure” and the decision to rotate between Wriddhiman Saha and Rishabh Pant has been “unfair” on both the wicketkeepers, feels former opener Gautam Gambhir.
Saha was on Friday dropped from the Boxing Day Test due to his poor batting form in the opening game and Gambhir asked whether the team’s think-tank will do the same with Pant if he fails in the next two games.
“It’s unfortunate and Wriddhiman Saha has played just one Test match in this series and he hasn’t done well and gets dropped.
“Imagine what happens to Heave if he does not coiffure well in this Trial run or the 3rd Test. What do you coiffure then? Would you run back to Wriddhiman Saha,” Gambhir wonder on YouTube television channel ‘ Sports Today ’.
For Gambhir, it is not lip-service but activities that makes instrumentalists secure, something that this current government has failed, harmonizing to him.
“That’s why this team looks so unsettled because no one is secured. Professional sport is all about security. Everyone has talent when they are representing the country,” Gambhir, known for his frank opinion, said.
“All they want is security and that assurance that we are there to back you, not just by words but by action.”
No one apart from India rotates wicketkeeper based on preconditions, aver Gambhir.
“Actually, it’s been unfair on Rishabh Pant and Wriddhiman Saha both over a long period of time when they have picked and chosen players on conditions. You don’t do that with wicketkeepers. You do that with bowlers,” he fumed.
“In oversea preconditions, you play two thread makers based on preconditions, its apprehensible, but which early tears in the universe has chopped and changed wicketkeepers based on preconditions. No one apart from India.”
Gambhir rubbish this one steward for dwelling and one for away hypothesis.
“I have never believed in this theory of rotation policy that Wriddhiman Saha is only good for sub-continent and Rishabh Pant is better overseas because that’s not how good teams go into.
“If you are right in Amerindic preconditions, you mother to turn in in oversea preconditions as well. Whether he does that or not is irrelevant.”
