¿Gautam Gambhir es el entrenador de prueba bajo presión? Mike Atherton se siente así

Even though India is trailing 1-2 in the England Test series, but somehow the score line doesn’t reflect the whole truth. They were brilliant in the Lord’s Test for four days, and was the case in the Lord’s Test too. But then, another fact remains, in the last year or so, under Gautam Gambhir, the team hasn’t been the best. They have lost at home against New Zealand 0-3, followed by another loss against Australia 1-3.

Gautam Gambhir Yet to Win a Test Series

Even though India went on to win the Champions Trophy under him, but Tests remain a big concern. Former England skipper Mike Atherton feels that this could feel Gautam Gambhir under pressure. “Well, they’ve lost two series in a row. They lost at home to New Zealand 3-0, and they lost the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 3-1. If they lose this series, then yeah, he’s under pressure as a coach,” said Atherton on Sky Sports.

Team India Deny Any Pressure

“India, with all their resources, their population strength, they’re not a team that people are patient with. They’re expected to win every time they walk onto the park. So three Test series defeats in a row would be a problem for him,” Atherton added. But then batting coach Sitanshu Kotak defended the coach at a press conference, and said that Gambhir is not facing any pressure.

“He is not under pressure. The series has been competitive, and both teams have played well. The series opener and the third Test could have gone either way. All the matches went to the fifth day, and it has been a brilliant series. I haven’t seen Gautam Gambhir under pressure from his playing days till now,” he said.
