India is 174/2 at Stumps on day 4 in the Old Trafford test.
The horrors of England’s batting have finally ended, although at the cost of leveling the DIV VS Ind. Sai Sudharsan in consecutive deliveries in the first time. But Kl Rahul (87*) and Shubman Gill (78*) have given India’s hopes of a draw, which would be less shameful than a defeat. However, chief coach Gautam Gambhir has faced a serious reaction from fans for his record in the red ball format. If they were fans, they would fire Gambhir and bring back to Rahul Dravid.
Gautam Gambhir faces the comparison with Rahul Dravid
Shortly before the play of the day ended, another Rahul was in the social media platform ‘X’ (previously Twitter).
Dravid was appointed chief coach in November 2021. During his term, India often annihilated his opposition. India became the second best test team, behind Australia. In particular, India occupied the number 1 position according to the ICC test classifications before Gambhir took over the mantle, but now he has slipped to the fourth position.
Under the Dravid guide, India won 14 and lost 7 of the 24 tests. The victory of India included homemade triumphs of high profile over Australia and England. India also reached the final of the World Test Championship (WTC) in 2021-2023, although they finally fell short against Australia.
Under Gambhir’s leadership since July 2024, India has won four of 13 games. In addition, India could not qualify for the WTC final of the 2023-25 cycle after disappointing results in the Border-Gavavar Trophy 2024-25.
This is how fans reacted. They have also raised the option of a divided training system for red and white ball formats.
