Vice -President Rajeev Shukl was supported by head coach Gautam Gambhir and urged fans and former crickets to be responsible in their criticism to be responsible in their criticism to be responsible in their criticism to be responsible to be responsible in their criticism to be responsible in their criticism to be responsible in their criticism Responsible in their criticism to be responsible in their criticism, to be responsible in their criticism, to be responsible in their criticism, to be responsible in their criticism, to be responsible in their criticism to extend the upcoming ODI series in Australia.
The integration of a 23 -year -old fast bowler into a team that announced last week with the main selector Ajit Agarkar, brought control from several quarters. Many critics suggested that Harshit’s continuing involvement across the formats is due to its connection with Gambhir, under which he played in Kalkata Knight Riders in IPL.
Former Indian Captain Krishnamachari SRIKKANTH also weighed, refers to Harshit as “one permanent member in the team” mean that his place was provided more through protectionism than forms. The criticism was intensified after Mohammad Shami, one of the most experienced Indian Pacers and the highest joint goal during the Champions trophies at the beginning of this year, was omitted from a 15 -member group.
After Tuesday after the Indian net sweeping over the western India, Gambhir addressed the controversy of the frontalcalls attacks on the rough “shameful”.
“It is a bit shameful that you focus on 23 years in person,” Gambhir said at a press conference after the match. “You can criticize the performance – that’s your right – but targeting individuals to click or start the YouTube channel is unfair. The Indian cricket does not belong to me or players in this dressing room; it belongs to any Indian who wants the team to do well.”
Rajeev Shukl, who echoed Gambhir’s attitude, prevented the right of team leadership from choosing players and stressed that criticism must never harm the young player’s morale.
“Gautam Gambhir is right. If someone has any complaints about the player, it should be done responsibly,” Shukla said. “Irrisable remarks reduce the morale of players down. It is the team’s task to choose players and before they said anything, people should think about how much responsibility their words carry.”
