Problems in India's transition: Gautam wants his team, but will he get it?

Transitions are never easy. More so when a dressing room is dotted with superstars, who are in the Twilight Zone of their glittering careers. And it's for this reason, India head coach Gautam Gambhir finds himself caught between a rock and a hard place. Indian cricket's big transition has started with Ravichandran Ashwin's retirement. And Gambhir might have to be the 'Harbinger of Doom' for some of the megastars if the currently tied Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia does not end up being decisively in India's favour in Melbourne and Sydney. While Ashwin took the hard call himself, anyone with a basic understanding of Indian cricket would know that Gambhir's decision to include Washington Sundar at the senior pro's expense was the biggest trigger. Skipper Rohit Sharma wasn't even in Perth when the decision was made. There are four big names Virat Kohli, Rohit, Ravindra Jadeja and Mohammed Shami in the Indian dressing room right now. Shami isn't playing this series but

Head coach Gambhir set to rejoin Indian team in Australia on Tuesday

India head coach Gautam Gambhir is set to rejoin the team in Australia ahead of the second Test at Adelaide Oval, having flown back home due to "personal reasons" after the big win in the series opener in Perth. Gambhir missed the two-day warm-up game against the Prime Minister's XI at Manuka Oval here, which was reduced to a 46-overs-a-side contest due to inclement weather. He had left the touring party on November 26, the scheduled final day of the first Test in Perth. A rampaging India won the opening Test by 295 runs and with plenty of time left in the match. The second Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, a pink-ball day-nighter, will start on Friday. Finalising the playing XI will be Gambhir's top priority after he links up with the Indian squad that has been strengthened further by the arrival of captain Rohit Sharma after he missed the opening game of the five-match series due to the birth of his second child. In Gambhir's absence, his three trusted lieutenants Abhishek Nay

Unfair to judge Gautam Gambhir so early in his coaching role: Ajay Jadeja

Former India middle-order batter Ajay Jadeja on Saturday defended head coach Gautam Gambhir from the criticism he has received following the 0-3 drubbing against New Zealand, saying it's "unfair" given the short time he has been in the new role. Gambhir, the hero of the 2011 World Cup title triumph, took over the reins of the India team in July after Rahul Dravid's tenure ended. Following a bright start against Sri Lanka in the T20I series, India lost the ODI series to the home side. The Test team then thrashed Bangladesh 2-0 before a nightmare outing against New Zealand put Gambhir under massive scrutiny. "I think you are being unfair to him... If you will start judging people on the basis of their coaching role or whatever way it is being looked at, it is too short a time to for people to be judged," Jadeja told PTI Videos in an exclusive interview on the sidelines of FICCI Turf event here on Saturday.. "If you are not convinced that he is good, then one performance here or there

Ravi Shastri guided India to back-to-back series wins in Australia and his short advice to current head coach Gautam Gambhir is to "stay calm" over the course of five Tests Down Under and avoid knee-jerk reactions. Known for his aggressive temperament, Gambhir has been recently labelled "prickly" by a few former Australian cricketers as he faces his biggest challenge since taking charge in July. "The first thing would be to stay calm and not let outside elements influence you in any way," Shastri advised Gambhir while talking to media in the Star Sports press room. "Avoid getting into positions where knee-jerk reactions happen. Stay calm and focus on understanding your players. You'll notice what it takes for a player to thrive." Shastri said the key to success lies in understanding players and empowering them in match situations. "You'll understand team situations where a certain player might be better suited than another, based on your understanding of their temperament. "These

AUS vs IND: Gambhir's style of coaching 'not great fit' for India - Paine

Gautam Gambhir's "prickly" coaching style may not bode well for the Indian team, and it could be a "long summer" if they fail to start strong in the Perth Test on November 22, warns former Australian captain Tim Paine. Jolted by an unprecedented 0-3 home series loss to New Zealand, the Gambhir-coached side now face the daunting task of defending the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in a five-match series against Australia, starting with the Perth Test. Their last two series wins out here they had Ravi Shastri who was fantastic. He created a great environment, the players were energised, they played with passion, he sold them the dream and motivated them in a really light-hearted enjoyable way," Paine said on SEN Radio. They (India) have gone to a new coach now that is really prickly, really competitive -- and that not to say that's not a good thing and a good way to coach -- but my concern is that it's not a great fit for the Indian cricket team. If your coach is the first one to crack in a
