Harbhajan Singh on Gautam Gambhir: After the disappointing performance of the Indian team on the Australia tour, many questions are being raised on the team’s head coach Gautam Gambhir. After winning the Perth Test match, India lost for the second time in the fourth Test match played at Melbourne ground. At that time Gautam Gambhir could not control himself and his anger came out in the dressing room. When this information came to the media, Gambhir was quite disappointed and said that the conversation between the coach and the captain should not come out of the dressing room.
After the Melbourne Test match, when an incident in the dressing room of the Indian team was leaked in media reports, there was an uproar all around. But then when the Indian team returned to Australia after losing the Test series, once again media reports came out that Sarfaraz Khan was leaking all these things. On which former Indian player Harbhajan Singh got angry and now he has given a big statement reprimanding Gambhir.
What did Harbhajan Singh say?
Harbhajan Singh said, ‘A lot has happened in the Indian team in the last few days. Be it Australia tour or after that… there are wins and losses on the field. But new stories should not come from the dressing room every day. I heard that Gambhir has said that Sarfaraz Khan has leaked the dressing room issue. If Gambhir has said this then coach sahib should not have said this. If Sarfaraz Khan has done this then you should have talked to him in Australia. He is a young player and needs convincing.
Young players need reassurance
While giving advice to Gautam Gambhir, Harbhajan Singh further said, ‘Being a senior player, it is our job to explain and teach the young players. If Sarfaraz has done this then he has really done wrong. The matter of dressing room should not go out. Gambhir is new in this work and he should also be given time. Apart from this, it takes time for the players to adjust to the system.
