Chief coach India Gautam Gambhir went strongly to defend the young Pacer Harshit Rana on Tuesday at Feroz Shah Kotla after India sealed victory in West India with seven goals. Gambhir’s comments came in response to the criticism of the former World Cup winner and the selector of the former boss to Srikkantha, who challenged the integration of the wound into the team for the upcoming ODI series against Australia.The controversy began after Srikkanth released a video on his YouTube channel, who killed the 23 -year -old Delhi Pacer selection.“It is best to be like a Harshit Rana and to be a constant yes-man to Gambhir to be selected. There is only one permanent member-Drinky Rana. No one knows why he’s on the team. You don’t choose someone regardless of whether you are doing well and taking others.Gambhir, clearly dissatisfied, took advantage of what he considered a personal attack on the young man.“Look, it’s a bit shameful and I will be honest with you. It is unfair that you are not even saving a 23 -year -old child who will start your YouTube channels. It’s unfair because his father is not a former chairman, former cricket or NRI,” Gambhir reporters told. “Whatever cricket played, he played his own merit, and in the future he will also play for his own credit.”An expression of concern about the mental myth that such criticism can take over the players, added the head coach: “Targeting someone is not fair individually. You can target someone’s performance, and therefore there are people … there are selectors.”He also urged the critics to notice the youth and inexperience.“If you say such things to a 23 -year -old child and then even more intensifies social media, just imagine your thinking when they hear it all. Tomorrow, even your child may end playing on Earth. He least realizes he is 33 years old; he is only 23 years old. You can criticize me; I can do it.Gambhir also called on commentators and fans to keep their “moral responsibility” towards the Indian cricket and urgent to focus on the show rather than personal attacks.Rana continued to grow to a three-format player for India after debuting in Perth during the Trophy Border-Gavascar last November, followed by a performance in ODIS and T20is against England at the beginning of this year.
