Even before the start of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, former Australian cricketers started making statements. He is trying to put pressure on the Indian team players through verbal attacks. But this time he has faced Gautam Gambhir, known for answering bricks with stones. When Ricky Ponting made a statement about Virat Kohli’s performance, the Indian team coach responded boldly. Since then he began to be criticized. Many Australian players, including former captain Tim Paine, addressed him. Even former Indian players opposed him. But now former captain Sourav Ganguly has thrown his support behind it.
Ganguly gave a befitting reply.
Ricky Ponting’s claim has been backed by his fellow players. Taking aim at Adam Gilchrist, he said that depending on the position Ponting has reached, he can say whatever he wants. While Matthew Hayden said in his support that he is paid to comment as an expert. They have every right to give their opinion. Tim Paine came forward and called Gambhir the biggest problem for the Indian team. But now former captain Sourav Ganguly has come out in support. Ganguly said Gambhir has always been a feisty person. They have never changed and they should not change.
According to Ganguly, there is nothing wrong in what Gambhir said. The former Indian captain exposed Australia’s old face and said that Australian players have always behaved like this. His tone has softened in recent years due to the IPL. Therefore, if Gambhir also responds to them, he is not doing anything wrong. Many former cricketers also predicted an outright victory in Australia, something Ganguly flatly rejected. He believes that the Indian team will not be whitewashed at any cost.
