Earlier Ricky Ponting had also raised questions about Gambhir’s training.
India Tour of Australia 2024 (Aaj Samaj), Sports Desk: The Indian team’s five-Test series tour against Australia will begin in the Perth Test after four days. Team India has to play five Test matches under the Border-Gavaskar series during this tour.
This test series has great importance for the Indian team. If the team loses even one match during this series, it will be out of the race for the World Test Championship final. On the other hand, not only the Australian team but also its former players are still shocked by the defeat suffered by the Indian team in the last series. Due to this, they are trying to gain mental advantage by making statements about the Indian team.
Gambhir’s training does not suit Indian team: Tim Paine
Commenting on Indian coach Gautam Gambhir, former Australian captain and goalkeeper Tim Paine said that this tour will be a big fight for Gautam Gambhir. Tim Paine said that Gautam Gambhir is a short-tempered person and his style does not suit Indian players.
Tim Paine said that if the Indian team could not make a good start in the Perth Test, then it would not be a good start for Gautam Gambhir. He said that in the last series when India defeated Australia, the team coach was Ravi Shastri who expressed confidence in the team players and the players performed well. There is a lot of difference in the style of Gautam Gambhir and Ravi Shastri.

Virat Kohli was also attacked
Former Australian fast bowler Glenn McGrath has made a statement about the team’s star and experienced batsman Virat Kohli. McGrath said Australia has the ability to target Virat Kohli and the star batsman will be under pressure in the series starting in Perth from November 22 if he gets off to a poor start in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
In an interview for a sports news channel, McGrath said: “There is no doubt that after the 0-3 loss against New Zealand, you have a lot of potential to prove yourself.” So push them and see if they are ready for it or not. Kohli, who has been the mainstay of India’s batting for over a decade, has been battling his poor form in Test cricket for some time now. In the six games he has played this year his average has been only 22.72.
