Congress member of Parliament Shashi Tharoor, who is also a great admirer of the Indian cricket team, made a prediction about the future of the Indian team and wished them good luck before their first T20 match against New Zealand. The post additionally praised the Indian team head coach Gautam Gambhir, saying that where Prime Minister’s job is considered to be the most difficult, Gambhir’s job comes next. Tharoor shared his posting after meeting Gambhir in Nagpur on Wednesday.
Tharoor Praises Gambhir’s Leadership
In his post, Tharoor wrote, "Despite the fact that millions are criticizing his decisions every day in every possible way, Gambhir is moving forward and upward, still and quietly, and taking the criticisms like a man. Congrats to him for the effective leadership."
Gambhir Responds
- Gambhir, while replying to Tharoor’s post, said, "Thanks a lot. Probably it will take a bit more time until the dust settles completely. Then the coach's absolute power will be recognized. But till then, I find it hard to believe I am being compared with my own team."
- His comment has certainly raised a topic for discussion on the internet. Although he did not name anyone in particular, he made it clear that he was not given the full power of the head coach.
Public Reaction
- For quite some time now, fans of Team India have been vocal about their disapproval of Gambhir’s coaching. After India’s recent ODI series loss of 1-2 to New Zealand, social media users have ramped up their negative responses toward him.
- The article stresses the challenges that lie ahead for Gambhir as head coach, albeit in a neutral and factual manner.
