Aakash Chopra on Gautam Gambhir: Akash Chopra said, Gautam Gambhir has given him, now needs the result

After the defeat against New Zealand and Australia, India poorly started the series against England. Shubman Gill -led team also lost by five wickets by giving a target of 371 runs in the headingley. Former Indian batsman Akash Chopra believes that Gautam Gambhir needs to get some good results soon, otherwise the pressure will increase.

Chopra believes that Gill cannot be blamed because he has taken the captaincy, but Gautam Gambhir must be asked questions. Chopra said on his YouTube channel, “This is the principle of Indian cricket and it is true that if it is good then everyone is proud. But if it is bad then criticism is natural. I will still be more patient with Shubman Gill as they have just taken over the captaincy. It will take some time to understand them.”

Chopra said, “There is a lot of pressure on Gautam Gambhir. The pressure is increasing at all. If you look at his performance in Test cricket and red-ball cricket, you will find that he has not won much matches. He has won 2 matches against Bangladesh and one match against Australia. We have lost three against New Zealand, three against Australia and one against England. He is losing continuously.”

The former Indian batsman also said that whatever Gambhir has sought from the BCCI, he has been given to him, so the Indian head coach has no excuse and will have to start giving results. Chopra said, “His white ball has been performing well in cricket. The team is playing well. But in Test cricket I think questions will arise. And I think there is a lot of pressure on this series. If this series does not go well, God does not go well, I hope it will go well. I will really want to do good Indian cricket. But if England series does not go well, then questions will arise.”
