'No need to be so strict', is Gautam Gambhir 'RUDE'? Sourav Ganguly said a big thing

New Delhi. The image of Gautam Gambhir, the head coach of the Indian cricket team, is considered very serious. He usually appears very serious, due to which he is considered very strict and harsh. Regarding this, former Indian captain and batsman Sourav Ganguly has given an advice to the Indian coach. Ganguly said that he does not need to be too harsh. Ganguly told that Gautam Gambhir is a very good person at heart, but in his insistence on winning, he should not make himself too rude.

While talking to 'RevSports', Ganguly said, 'Gautam may be a bit tough-tempered, but he is a true fighter. I have played with him and know he is a good person. He has a passion to win for his team and he believes in teamwork more than the players, which is a very good thing. Let us tell you that Gautam Gambhir is the only coach of India under whose supervision the team has won two ICC titles, but he is often discussed more for two reasons. First, he looks very aggressive in the press conference. Secondly, he is often seen in a serious manner with the players.

Questions on decisions of red ball cricket
Gambhir's record as a head coach in red ball cricket has not been good so far. During his tenure as coach, India had to face clean sweep twice in the Test series at home. New Zealand and South Africa have defeated India at home. After this performance, Gambhir's decisions and some experiments done in his team have been heavily criticized. However, Ganguly has said regarding this that Gambhir will have to give up the temptation of 'turning track'. He reminded that the same thing had happened in the Test against South Africa at Eden Gardens last year.

Ganguly believes that Gambhir's real test will come when Team India goes on foreign tours. He said, 'If you play on good pitches, Gambhir will prove to be a great Test coach. In India they play on very turning pitches. He should remove the thought of the pitch from his mind.
