Biggest Concern For India Is Coach Gambhir’s Ability To Be Calm Under Pressure, Says Paine
Former Australian Test: Former Australian Test captain Tim Paine expressed concern about India head coach Gautam Gambhir’s recent comments towards Ricky Ponting, saying the biggest concern for the visitors in the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy could be his inability to remain calm under pressure.
Ponting had opined that he was concerned about Virat Kohli’s form – of scoring two Test hundreds in the last five years. But Gambhir shot back in the pre-departure press conference, saying, ‘What does Ponting have to do with Indian cricket? He should be talking about Australia’. It led to Ponting saying Gambhir is a prickly customer.
“I don’t love it. It’s not a good sign I think, because all he was asked was a very simple question. I think he’s maybe looking at Ricky still as someone he’s playing against, but Ricky is a commentator now - he’s paid to give an opinion, and his opinion was spot on.”
