“He shouldn't keep changing things hastily” - Kris Srikkanth offers advice to Gautam Gambhir

Former Indian opening batter Kris Srikkanth has suggested that the Indian head coach Gautam Gambhir not make changes hastily within the Indian team, as the results under him have been either deadly or extremely horrible.

Speaking on his YouTube channel, Srikkanth asserted that it’s very important for the head coach to keep the right combination across formats to live up to the expectations in terms of consistency. 

"India have been at the two extremes under Gambhir. The results have been either deadly or extremely horrible. That's why he shouldn't keep changing things hastily. It's important to keep the right combination. India luckily escaped England without especially Virat Kohli and also Rohit Sharma. Of course, we did brilliantly in England overall, especially Shubman Gill and the bowlers,” Srikkanth said on his YouTube channel. 

Furthermore, Srikkanth has also emphasized his opinion on the Indian ODI captain Shubman Gill’s poor form in the limited-over formats. He also added that Gill has been under pressure since taking up captaincy. 

"After performing in England, he is probably also putting pressure on himself. He shouldn't do that and just play his game. He actually played well today but just got a superb delivery from Hazlewood. More than Shubman Gill getting himself out, it was a wicket-taking delivery that got him. But he does look to be under pressure, just observing his body language because he has replaced Rohit Sharma as the captain, while also opening alongside him," said Srikkanth.

"And on the other side, everyone is asking why Yashasvi Jaiswal isn't playing. All that adds to his pressure. But he'll get over it as he's a fantastic player. He should just play his normal game because he's getting his strides and shots right. He's just getting out, that's the only thing. So once he produces a couple of big knocks at home against South Africa, he'll be set again,” he concluded.
