After Team India’s embarrassing defeat of 125 runs in the fourth T20 match against England, former Indian wicketkeeper Dinesh Karthik has strongly criticized head coach Gautam Gambhir. This is India’s biggest defeat in the history of T20 cricket, after which questions are being raised on the team management strategy in the cricket circles.

Why is Kartik angry?

Dinesh Karthik’s main anger was over an experiment done in the batting order.

When India lost 5 wickets at the score of 52 runs, the team management sent fast bowler Harshit Rana to bat in place of all-rounder Shivam Dubey. Karthik, who was commentating in this match, looked completely surprised by this decision. “Are you serious? Sending Harshit Rana over Shivam Dubey? You can’t be serious,” he said during the live commentary. His move proved to be a complete failure and Rana was out after scoring just 2 runs.

match status

In this match played at Trent Bridge, England, batting first, scored 201 runs thanks to Phil Salt’s explosive innings of 70 runs.

In response, Team India’s batting lineup completely collapsed and the entire team was reduced to just 76 runs. India has not been able to achieve a single win in the last 5 T20 matches, which shows the declining form of the team.

the way forward

Now the next match of the series between India and England will be played on Thursday, July 9 in Bristol. Now it is a big challenge for Team India to make a comeback in the series.

This defeat is a matter of self-reflection for coach Gambhir and the team management, because the team is not getting the benefit of repeated changes in the batting order.
