Everything is under control, everything is baseless: serious

After losing the Melbourne Test, India trailed by 2-1 in the series. Rumor has it that coach Gautam Gambhir lost his temper after losing that match. He warned the players who could not perform. Then unrest spread in the dressing room. Different news media published various funny reports about it. However, ahead of the Sydney Test starting on Friday, India’s coach said everything is under control. The reports that have been published are baseless.

“These are just reports,” Gambhir said at the pre-match press conference on Thursday (January 02, 2025). It is not true, baseless. I don’t think I need to respond to any published reports. I spoke from my heart, that’s all I can say. Honesty is very important. Honesty is very important if you want to move forward and achieve good things.”

He also said that the discussions that happen in the dressing room should stay in the dressing room, “It’s a team game and everyone understands that.” Discussions between a player and a coach should be limited to themselves. Any dressing room conversation should be in the dressing room.”

India’s finals hopes depend on a win in the Sydney Test. If they win this match, they will keep alive their hopes of going to the final of the ICC World Test Championship. And if you lose, you will be knocked out of the race for the finals. Australia will reach the final by leaving them behind. By winning the Melbourne Test, Ajira has already placed one foot in the finals.
